LaCie d2 4x Blu-Ray burner

May 28th, 2008

LaCie have just released a new Blu-Ray burner, the d2 which slaps down the zeroes and ones at 4x speeds via USB 2.0 and FireWire 400. The unit also boasts whisper quiet performance and a durable design just in case you want to, err, bash it occasionally. Here are a few more numbers on this puppy for you

* writing speeds - BD-R (single or dual layer) 4x; BD-RE (single or dual layer) 2x
* DVD±R 16x; DVD±RW 6x; DVD±R DL 4x
* CD-R 40x; CD-RW 32x
* 172.8 x 44.8 x 251.1 mm
* 1400 g
* talks nicely with Windows XP with the latest service pack, Windows Vista and Mac OS X 10.4.8 or higher

The d2 will be shipped out with a US$690 price tag, not cheap, but now the fomat war is over there’s one less excuse not to take the plunge.
