LG GBW-H10N Blu-ray Burner Review

The LG GBW-H10N looks pretty much like any other DVD writer apart from the Blu-ray Disc logo on the right side of the tray. The GBW-H10N will write BD-R discs at 4x, BD-RE media at 2x, DVD-R at 12x, DVD-RW at 6x, DVD+R at 12x, DVD+RW at 8x (media permitting) and DVD-RAM at 5x.. ..Somewhat disappointed to find that it employed an EIDE interface as opposed to a SATA one.

…The LG GBW-H10N is an impressive bit of kit, but you’re paying a lot of money for the Blu-ray functionality. Also, since LG has already announced a drive that can play both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs, you have to ask yourself if you’re willing to buy into only one of the next generation optical formats. If however you desperately need to archive up to 25GB of data to a single disc now, you probably won’t be put off by the price, but for most of us it’s worth waiting a while longer.
