LG GGW-H10N Super Multi Blue

LG company, the world’s leading manufacturer of consumer electronic products, has introduced the first hybrid HD PC optical drive called GGW-H10N Super Multi Blue which allows users to read and record Blu-ray media and works with HD DVD discs (although it has no built-in support for writing the latter).
This device provides a write speed capacity which may not be considered as outstanding, a common occurrence for first generation technologies. The media player can provide a four times speed capacity for reading a single-layered Blu-ray and 3.2 times speed capacity for reading a multi-layered Blu-ray media. In terms of HD DVD discs speed capacity, this device can provide three times speed rate and 12 times speed performance in reading DVD.

The GGW-H10N Super Multi Blue features a write speed of two to four times in Blu-ray media and eight times speed capacity for DVD discs.
It features data connectors and SATA which are located on the back part. It also has a blue LED activity indicator, mounting screws, blank single-layer rewritable Blu-ray disc, and cable connectors.
It features specs such as Cyberlink’s HD Suite which includes the PowerProducer for making and editing multimedia; PowerDVD player software; InstantBurn packet-writing solution; Power2Go burning function, firmware update function which automatically tests the most recent firmware; and Power Backup restoration and archiving function.
The HD DVD and Blu-ray images provided by the device are quite impressive. With its HD Multi-media Interface DVI cable and a card which provides support High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, users can enjoy high-quality, clear, realistic images when viewing their movies or shows.
The device can accommodate a dual-core processor and 1GB memory. It is also compatible with DVI HDMI cable and HDCP-enabled graphics card (e.g. ATI Radeon X1950 series, nVidia GeForce 7800 or 8800 series) in order to provide function to play back HD content.
While this first generation technology may be the first of its kind, there is still some room for improvements. If there would be a second generation for this which features speed capacity that is relatively fast and a price that is affordable to the general market, this could probably be more successful.
