A capable combo drive at a high price
Only now are we seeing a raft of combo drives that support HD DVD and Blu-ray, despite HD DVD collapsing a few months ago.
It can take months or years to develop a drive, so manufacturers who thought they were being cunning a while back now have products with limited extra appeal. Buffalo’s external USB drive can write to Blu-ray blanks at 6x, read HD DVDs at 3x and write to DVDs at 16x. In testing we couldn’t manage above 12x and we’re also not aware of 6x Blu-ray media yet.
It also expensive and rather long, measuring 28cm deep, but it is well made and has two easily accessible open-door buttons.

Overall A very capable drive but similar combo drives are cheaper
We ask why ebooks readers have no embedded fonts or easily accessible footnotes and how typographical errors not in the original book appear
