Blu-Ray discs combine portability, high capacities, and convenience in one package. Ideal as a storage backup solution—or as a means of distributing media to your clients and employees—Blu-Ray discs have succeeded DVDs as a relatively inexpensive and reliable storage medium.
Blu-Ray discs are read by Blu-Ray disc drives using optical technology. These drives use a laser to read the data on the disc. DVDs use a red laser, but Blu-Ray discs use a blue laser with a shorter wavelength, allowing for denser storage and higher storage capacities.
When they were first introduced in 2006, Blu-Ray discs had a maximum video resolution of 1080p. Newer Blu-Ray discs have far surpassed that, allowing for up to 4K resolution. If you’re looking for a storage medium that can play ultra-high-resolution content, Blu-Ray discs are the technology of choice... .
While DVDs traditionally max out their capacity at about 4.7GB, Blu-Ray discs can hold up to 25GB on a single-layered disc and 100GB on a multi-layered disc. This amount of storage space makes them ideal for storing high-definition videos and large amounts of data in an exceptionally portable package.
Blu-Ray discs have more than just higher storage capacity going for them. Unlike DVDs, Blu-Rays have superior copy protection, giving you the option of adding an extra layer of security to your media or data. These discs are extremely difficult to copy and have strong Digital Rights Management (DRM) built-in, so you can be sure that your data isn’t being shared with the wrong people.
At Connection, we carry a range of Blu-Ray media to fit both your specifications and your budget. We offer the option of purchasing single discs as well as packs of various sizes. If you need to share media, our basic single-layer economy discs will do the job. If you’re in the market for something with more storage capacity, we have multi-layered discs as well. Many of our Blu-Ray discs are optimized for quick disc writing, reliable playback, and high-definition clarity.
We have both traditional discs and others designed as durable storage mediums that feature an inorganic write layer. This makes them practically impervious to deterioration and environmental exposure—including light, temperature, and humidity.
