Modern computers can easily read thosevideo files that only ten years ago could reproduce only professional machines for the film industry. Now the format of the video Full HD is no surprise. It's no secret that such files "weigh" a lot. If you collect a collection, then no hard drive is not enough. The same applies to modern formats of music and images. Quality has improved, but the size has also increased. What to do if there is nowhere to store this trash on the computer, and you do not want to get rid of it? The answer is one: pay attention to Blu-Ray-drives for recording discs.
The fact is that the usual DVD can fit no more than4.5 gigabytes of information (8.5 gigabytes per two-layer). How many such discs will be needed to record a maximum quality movie lasting two hours? And a blank disk can easily fit 25 gigabytes of information. On two-layer - all 50. By simple calculations you can understand how much money you can save by simply switching to Blu-Ray-drives.
This earlier writing drive of this level was worthmad money. Yes, and disks of this type at the beginning of the two thousandths differed in high cost. But now their price is comparable to DVD. So, it's time to transfer your entire collection to blank blues. But this requires a very good writing drive. For a low-quality product can spoil 50 gigabytes of information you need. How to choose a quality Blu-Ray-drive for your computer? We'll talk about this, analyzing several popular models.
This drive is the brainchild of the Korean company ASUS.And it is made in the Middle Kingdom. He does not have any special characteristics. The write-read speeds are standard for devices of this level. This budget device can satisfy most users, since the number of errors during recording is minimal. But do not rely on stingy statistics. Especially from the manufacturer. These guys sometimes like to lie. ASUS's Blu-ray writing drives are compatible with many devices. But they do not particularly deserve trust. Especially if you rely on feedback on them.
Nevertheless, many acquire precisely thesedrives only because it's "cheap and angry". No one thinks about quality. However, after the drive has killed a couple of discs, a completely different song will start. Everyone rushes to scold the company's engineers and their Chinese factories. What do you want? They themselves saw what they took. Although the line BW has not tarnished itself by anything. Apparently, this is the most successful series from the manufacturer.
Here this manufacturer has the worstreputation. Its drives of any rulers stamp errors when writing like hot cakes. Almost all owners of this misfortune strongly do not recommend buying Blu-ray drives from this manufacturer. As a reader, they are nothing. But they do not know how to write. And it is not known what it is connected with. The rest of the technology from this company does not have such problems. Probably, it's the drives themselves. The engineers of the company try in every possible way to eliminate the malfunctions, but so far they have been weak at it.
The considered drive, meanwhile, hasimpressive write speeds and easily copes with two-layer discs. With all its shortcomings, Blu-ray drives from LG sometimes behave appropriately. However, you do not need to buy them. It can cost you dearly. Although they are very cheap. This they do not take away. But it's better to get a little more into a better product than to tear your hair off after losing a lot of important information.
This drive has an impressive amountadvantages. But the most valuable thing about it is that it unerringly writes Blu-ray discs. This is not surprising, because the company "Pioneer" - a pioneer in the field of optical technologies. An important role is played by the fact that many of its products are made in Japan. And this is a completely different level of quality. If you are lucky, then you will find yourself and the Japanese drive. The read-write speeds are quite acceptable for budget-level devices. In addition, these Blu-Ray-drives can easily cope with two-layer discs.
All those who bought drives from Pioneer are inwild enthusiasm, because these devices write discs clearly and without problems. If there are negative reviews about the products of other manufacturers, then there is no such information at all about "Pioneers". This is almost the only problem-free drives. By the way, the Pioneer Blu-Ray-drive is sold almost everywhere. The main thing is not to jump on a fake. And for this you need to ask the seller for a certificate of quality.
Many laptops and ultrabooks are now equippeddrives of this type "by plant." But what if you have an old laptop with an ordinary writing DVD? An external Blu-Ray drive will help. He connects to the laptop via a USB port and writes the disks in the same way as the standard "cutter". But there is one nuance: due to the fact that the bandwidth of the USB is much smaller than that of the same SATA-bus, the speed of reading disks falls. But something has to be sacrificed. But such devices can be used as a Blu-ray player.
The market for portable Blu-ray drives is ruled by a ballsuch companies as the already familiar to us Pioneer, Sony, Samsung and ASUS. These manufacturers create the best external drives. Which one to choose is up to you. But here it is strongly recommended that you acquire something from the "Pioneers". They inspire somehow more confidence.
As already mentioned, reviews depend onspecific manufacturer. Take, for example, ASUS products. There is a balance between negative and positive reviews. So, the products of this company can be used, but with caution. Many owners note a good read speed, but immediately note that sometimes there are errors during recording. This happens in all products. But the feedback about LG's drives is more negative. Those who had the imprudence to acquire them, now do not know what to do, because there are a lot of mistakes. And the guarantee does not pass.
It is very rare that the product does notearns no negative feedback. Pioneer drives belong to this type of device. All those who have bought themselves "cutters" of this company can not be happy with a successful purchase. These comrades sing odes to the drives from the "Pioneers". And this means that the products of this manufacturer are trustworthy.
Selecting a writer for the computer orlaptop - quite a difficult thing. There are many factors to consider. But first thing you need to pay attention to the manufacturer. Blu-ray-drives from LG, for example, take it absolutely not worth it. They often "make up" mistakes when writing. Why do you need spoiled discs? Not bad device from ASUS. But the undisputed leader here is Pioneer. It produces the highest quality devices.
