I've got the money set aside for a Nehalem Mac Pro. Once I get it, I might just buy a Blu-Ray burner. Great for data backups, and most of them support HD-DVD as well (I can watch Apollo 13 in HD, finally!)]]>Jul 24th 2008 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/]]>Jul 24th 2008 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/

I think your math is a bit off
1X = 36Mbit/s
2x = 72Mbit/s
4x = 144Mbit/s
4x 288Mbit/s
8x= 288 Mbit/s or 36MB/s more or less]]>Jul 24th 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/

No, YOU are the moron, dipshit. READ, then comment. At no point did i confuse megaBIT and megaBYTE, you dolt. Read it again.

I wrote x4 which means MULTIPLIED BY in any math system ever. I DID NOT write 4x.

Therefor, 2x(!) x4(multiplied by 4)=8x! Holy shit! Welcome to first grade dude.

And thanks for the correction kal326, you wrote the same exact fucking thing I did. So, again, YOU are the moron, sir.

2x is 72Mb/s (or 9MB/s) so... x4 should be around 288Mb/s (or 36MB/s)

Even with Intel chipset, USB 2 generally can't go faster than 35mb/s (MSC devices)

Not to mention VIA or ATI or SiS chipsets which some can't even reach 30mb/s

It should come with an eSATA port, or Firewire 800 for Macs.]]>Jul 24th 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/Jul 24th 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/Jul 24th 2008 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/Jul 24th 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/Jul 24th 2008 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/Jul 24th 2008 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/24/buffalos-blu-ray-burner-hits-8x-bda-says-wha/
When DVD writers came out I didn't wait and just bought one. It could not even write DVD-R, it wasn't fast enough, no dual layer (I didn't use dual layer DVDs anyway but BluRay will have MUCH higher capacity so it's more likely I WILL use multilayer disks), it was crappy (failed a lot etc) Then I've waited two years and bought an LG Super Multi (for about same price), which I have not even a single problem with. So, moral of this story: Wait more. Blu Ray has still some way to go.]]>Jul 26th 2008 5:08AM
