The BWU-200S is a 4x BD-R/16xDVD+/-R burner for the average Joe. At about $600 it essentially democratizes the BD burning process to an impressive degree, enabling us all to create our own “backup disk” of media, movies, and amateur goat porn without having trek down to Ye Olde Blu-Ray Disk Burning Shoppe.

The disks can hold up to 50GB of data or 230 minutes of 1080i vide. It also supports dual layer DVDs and CDs. It connects to your mobo via SATA and works with XP or Vista. No Mac support, it seems.
