Blue laser technology is currently the hottest topic in the storage arena. Sony and other companies are working towards making the blue laser technology a reality by producing affordable media and drives that will open many storage options to the normal consumer, which of course is great.
The current prices seem to fall around $2500.00 to $3000.00 for these drives, which will burn discs with 23GB of data. There will be both internal and external versions for the new standard drives. The internal burners will cost around $2500.00 while the external ones will run around $3000.00. The internal version will use SCSI-3 interface and the external drives will properly utilize USB 2.0 and SCSI. The media for these drives will cost around $45.00 according to Robert De Moulin, Marketing Manager, Sony Optical Storage Group.
