“TDK focused on Blu-ray and showed a roadmap with up to 6x burn speed (216 Mbps) and quad layer recording. TDK also displayed bare Blu-ray Discs with its hard coating technology, now called Durabis.” So this means it will take around 15 mins to do a single layer blu-ray of 25 gig. Would be good if 6x was the initial recording speed for the first generation drives.

Nice, But geeze, and 2.4x DL discs are still a complete rip-off. Until we see the discs for under US$2, they are pointless. Danny.
