I just decided to dive into the Blue Ray world. I got a player for me sony bravia.
So... I have a open slot for another optical drive on my desktop and was wondering if I can install a blue ray reader and writer instead of a dvd\cd drive.
I would like to backup some of the blue ray disc's that I have and perhaps watch the blue ray movies on my computing machine. I assume that the blue ray disc's content is much more dense then a dvd and stores much more data.
I have DVD Fab 6. Can I get a blue ray drive to install on my desktop that will read and write? and does it depend on the system board as to what type I need to get?
My alienware mobile desktop also has an available periphial for another drive and I would like to install one on the desktop and the laptop.
My desktop: Emachines W5233 Intel® Pentium® D Processor 925 (Dual Core)
1
64-bit technology support with Intel® EM64T Technology
(3.0GHz | 2 x 2MB L2 Cache | 800MHz FSB)
Optical drive info:
16x DVD±R/RW SuperMulti Drive
Up to 8.5GB with dual layer media
Write max: 16x DVD±R, 8x DVD+R DL, 6x DVD-R DL, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 12x DVD-RAM, 48x CD-R, 32x CD-RW
Read max: 12x DVD-ROM, 12x DVD-RAM, 48x CD-ROM
If I can get past this then I'll work on doing the same to my alienware laptop.
Any help is appreciated.
