Burn high-capacity Blu-ray disks right from your computer with a Buffalo™ Blu-ray® writer. This brand offers different models of external Blu-ray writers under its MediaStation™ lineup. With most computer manufacturers leaving out optical drives on their laptops, these Buffalo blank media writers give PCs the ability to read and make Blu-ray discs. They can also burn files to CDs and DVDs as well as play multimedia files stored on such discs. Staples® carries a good selection of internal and external optical drives from Buffalo and other leading computer accessory brands.
Create Blu-ray Discs Anywhere With a Portable Buffalo Blu-ray Writer
Buffalo's portable Blu-ray writers are compact and lightweight devices you can carry around in your laptop bag. Each of these USB-powered optical drives usually has two integrated USB cables. In addition to burning data on different types of Blu-ray, CD, and DVD discs, Buffalo offers select models that are also compatible with M-DISC™ DVD and Blu-ray discs. M-DISC is a proprietary optical disc format used for creating archival media that is more durable and longer-lasting than regular discs. When used to play DVD movies, some models can upscale SD contents to near HD resolutions. In addition to single and double-layer discs, Buffalo's slim writers also support BDXL. This is a Blu-ray format used by triple and quadruple-layer discs for storing up to 128GB of data.
Enjoy Faster Read and Write Speeds From a Desktop-Sized Buffalo Blu-ray Writer
Buffalo's optical drives have different read and write speeds for CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Generally, the desktop models offer higher speeds for these disc formats than the portable units. For example, a Buffalo desktop writer can read and write data on CD-R discs at 48x compared to the 24x maximum read and write speeds of the portable models. Most of the brand's desktop Blu-ray writers connect to PCs via USB 3.0 ports. USB 3.0 provides a speed boost over the USB 2.0 connector used by most of the portable writers. Unlike the smaller USB-powered writers, these require AC adapters and only use USB for file transfers. The desktop writers also support DVD video upscaling, BDXL discs, and come bundled with a CyberLink™ software suite.
Can You Use Rewritable Discs With a Buffalo Blu-ray Writer?
Yes. You can use BD-RE, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and CD-RW discs with Buffalo writers. These optical drives also support single, dual, and triple-layer formats of rewritable Blu-ray discs.
How Much Power Do Buffalo Blu-ray Writers Need?
The typical Buffalo portable Blu-ray writer has a maximum power consumption of 7.5 watts. On most PCs, it can draw the power required to operate from a single USB port. Buffalo includes a second USB cable to help the device draw more power from a second port if needed. The desktop writers need significantly more power and may require up to 36 watts.
What Operating Systems Do Buffalo Blu-ray Writers Support?
All of Buffalo's Blu-ray drives are compatible with Windows® and some of them also work with Mac® operating systems. The company lists support for Windows XP and later and even Windows RT for select models. Note that the CyberLink software bundled with Buffalo Blu-ray drives are for Windows PCs.
