Reviews of the LaCie d2 External Blu-ray burner (2X BD-R/E)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Supports all optical media types except HD DVD; works with PC and Mac; can burn 8cm or 12cm discs.
The Bad: Very expensive; stingy phone support.
The Bottom Line: The LaCie d2 Blu-ray burner offers good performance speeds, but it's still prohibitively expensive. Home users should wait for Blu-ray burners to drop in price and improve in performance.
