Plextor Digital EU

February 3rd, 2011– Plextor, a leading brand of high-performance digital media solutions, announces their first external Blu-ray Disc writer.

The PX-LB950UE Blu-ray Disc Burner offers home and business users an exceptionally fast 12x Blu-ray recording system housed in a flexible and convenient external drive. Double layer Blu-ray discs give the drive a maximum capacity of 50GB (single-layer 25GB) per disc: backing up the equivalent of 10 regular DVDs, 72 CDs, or storing over 9 hours of HD video.

Superspeed USB 3.0 and eSATA connections provide bandwidth for high data transfer rates and fast burn times. The drive can burn BD-R at maximum 12X and BD-R DL at 8X. For DVD media it can reach a maximum of 8X. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 systems also allows the external drive to be used with legacy PC’s.

The drive is supplied with advanced CyberLink Blu-ray and DVD playback software and recording applications, including the latest 3D compatibility. PlexUTILITIES is also included, giving owners the tools to thoroughly inspect their drive and discs, and consistently enabling the drive to produce high burn quality.

LightScribe direct disc labeling utilizes the drive’s laser to create professional looking black-and-white picture- and text labels on any LightScribe compatible blank disc.

A low vibration system which eliminates vibrations and a large 8MB buffer ensures enhanced writing accuracy at high speed. A special Plextor developed chassis channels the airflow, cooling the motor, which improves performance and extends the lifetime of the drive. The PX-LB950UE is also optimized for low noise during disc operations and smooth Blu-ray movie playback. These features combine to bring the full movie experience to any suitable PC, including superb surround sound, full HD picture quality, and fluid motion.

The key features of rapid recording speed, high storage capacity, and convenient external design make this drive suitable for users seeking a flexible way to add Blu-ray to their system or business users looking for a fast reliable archive solution.

The PX-LB950UE is available in Europe from February for an estimated price of €209.

This product falls under Plextors ‘Fast Warranty Service’, which implies 2 year onsite warranty in the EU, Norway and Switzerland (and 1 year carry-in in other countries).
