BD to replace CD

Compact Disk(CD) is getting a new shape and its actually getting transformed to new form of Data Storage disk.The size of this new disk is much more larger than the CDs and DVDs.

This new disk is referred as Blue-Ray Disk(BD).This is going to be new data carrier in the future.Blue-Ray Disks can be either single layered (or) dual layered.

Dual layered Blue-Ray disks can store data up to 50 GB which is 6 times higher than the storage of Dual layered DVDs itself (size of the dual layered DVD is 8152 MB (approx 8.1 GB)).

Single Layered Blue-Ray disks can store data up to 25 GB. In India, Blue-Ray Disc writers are not available directly at present (may be available from Gray market).

Firstly the BD Writers are launched in large scale by LG Electronics. This BD Writer has maximum writing speed of 6x where x varies from 1000 to 2000 Kb/sec.

In single BD, its possible to store 35 full length movies in one stroke. The writer launched by LG is considered as writer launched with high writing speed.

In pricing, variation from 20K to 30K is possible. This BD Writer can be incorporated to any Desktop computers.

Thus BD not only replace CD,DVD but can also replace Hard Drives as it has huge storage capacity and also provides longer life...
