Just a few months after launching their quad-interface Blu-ray burner, OWC has upgraded the Mercury Pro Blu-ray drive to burn discs at up to 8x, from the previous maximum of 4x.
The rough translation of the speed equals 2GB per minute, meaning you can complete burning a dual-layer BD-50 in just over 25 minutes.
The drive, as is standard, will burn DVDs at up to 16x and CDs at up to 40x. The drive can playback all CD, DVD and BD types.
The Mercury Pro Blu-ray burner supports USB 2.0, FireWire 400, FireWire 800, and eSATA, making it the only external burner to do so.
The burner is available now and retails for $480 USD.
