This hybrid drive can read all optical disc formats and create Blu-ray discs
Reads Blu-ray, HD DVD and all DVD formats and CDs, writes Blu-ray, DVD and CD
Slow in DVD writing, expensive

This Drive is available here in the States for a maximum of 300$ which amounts to roughly Rs.12,000. I used to pay a lot for Optical drives back in the late 90's into early 2000's in India and did notice that the CD-Writers market crashed around 03 and the DVD writer market much later. I would not have expected this trend to continue with BR-Writers but I am expecting it to fall by 2010. Although totally unrelated I just really wish the LCD market crashes to like Rs.8000 for Monitors between 20"-22"

I have been using this drive for almost 3 weeks now. It is very shocking that writing 25GB can be done in 41.20 mins. May I ask at what speed is this writing done? I have tried writing 16GB at 2x & it took 62 mins on the BD-RE provided. Please clarify this matter & do not mislead users by furnishing such wrong data.
