Amazon.com Product Description:
For those who want to be on the leading edge of technology, here it is. Sony's first generation Blu-ray drive, the BWU-100A, combines format compatibility with all flavors of DVD and CD media, while adding the ability to record to the newest format on the block, Blue-ray Disc.

Add a tray-loading Blu-ray Disc drive to your PC to harness the power of high definition video. View larger.

Blu-ray is the next generation of storage and entertainment media.

Single-layer (25 GB), dual-layer (50 GB), and rewritable Blu-ray Discs can be recorded on the BWU-100A. The drive supports DVD and CD authoring, too. View larger.

The drive supports recording both 50 GB and 25 GB BD-R (write once) and BD-RE (rewritable) discs, as well as 4.7 GB DVD+R/+RW/RAM, 8.5GB DVD+R Double/Dual Layer, and CD-R/-RW discs. Simply put, this drive is ready for your most ambitious video and data storage needs.

A single dual layer 50G BD disc can store up to 4 hours of 1080 HD video, making the BWU-100A the perfect solution for keeping High Definition video shot on your HDV camcorder in native HD. Boasting up to 50GB of online, random access storage, BD discs are also ideal for computer backup and data storage applications. And, since the BWU-100A can record DVDs and CDs, all your burning projects can be handled by a single drive.

The drive can be easily installed in your PC via an available Parallel ATA (P-ATA)/EIDE interface. Sony includes the Cyberlink software suite, which authors BD and DVD discs, while also offering general disc burning for Blu-ray Disc, DVD, and CD. The software works with Windows XP and Windows 2000 PCs.

What is Blu-ray?
Billed as the next generation of optical storage, Blue-ray Disc (BD) places an emphasis on high definition video playback, high definition gaming, and information storage. Blue-ray discs have the same disc diameter of a CD or DVD, but offer up to 50GB of storage per disc and are extremely durable. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc has enough storage capacity (25GB) for approximately two hours of high-definition video with audio. A dual-layer (50GB) Blue-ray Disc can hold enough data for approximately four hours of HD video. Blu-ray Disc is backed by all the major Hollywood studios and most electronics and computer makers, making it the natural successor of DVD in the high definition arena.

What's in the Box
Internal BWU-100A Blu-ray Disc Rewritable Drive, Cyberlink PowerProducer BD/DVD authoring software, Cyberlink PowerDirector editing software, Cyberlink Power2Go data burning software, Cyberlink InstantBurn packet writing software, Cyberlink PowerBackup backup software, Cyberlink PowerDVD player software, mounting screws, user's manual, and quick start guide.

- make sure to upgrade software first
I bought this writer to copy my HDV movies onto blue-ray and play them on my playstation 3. Once i wrote my first BD-RE , i put it in my PS3. It would not play and kept ask me a 4 digit password.Having no passwords set up i called playstation. Their rep was unable to help. Once i chatted the sony customer service from the burner, i got help. He was nice enough to give me the link for the burner's software upgrade. I had to re-write my disc again and it played flawlessly on my PS3. This burner ... Read More

- Works as advertized but don't expect disks to play to on your HDTV
The drive was easy to set up and worked OK for data storage. Unfortunately the drive and software supplied will not make HD movies or slide shows that can be played on Blu-Ray disk players. By using other software it is possible to make disks that will play on some, but not Sony, Blu-Ray players.
The drive as supplied will not fit through the front plate of my new Dell XPS desktop computer (too wide) - have seen similar comments from other buyers.
