Asustek BC-1205PT Blu-ray drive

September 10th, 2007

The Asustek BC-1205PT Blu-ray drive speeds up next generation DVD recording, capable of burning in data at 12X DVD+/- write, 4X DVD+/-R (dual layer) and 5X DVD-RAM speeds. This is made possible by a SATA interface that offers users with five times faster data transmission rates compared to DMA33 standards. You will be able to access your Blu-ray media at data transmission speeds of up to 4.5MB/s, which is roughly triple the speed of standard DVD transmission. Unique features include Asustek’s very own DDSS2 (Double Dynamic Suspension System 2) that minimizes vibration caused by the spindle motor and resonance between components, Liquid Crystal Tilt for enhanced pick up head accuracy during recording and playback of discs with uneven curvature and thickness and Smart Laser Driver for stable recording quality. No word on pricing and availability though.
