The new Panasonic SW-5583 Blu-ray drive, designed with new native SATA technology, advances beyond the bottleneck of IDE connections and is the first and only Blu-ray burner to reach 4x speed on BD-R 25GB and 50GB media. The new Blu-ray writable (BD-R) and Blu-ray re-writeable (BD-RE) 25GB single layer and 50GB double layer Blu-ray discs allow for storage of data, computer backup, high-definition movies and more. With Panasonic Blu-ray drives you get backwards compatibility with all the most popular DVD media formats such as DVD RAM discs, Dual Layer DVD, Double Layer DVD, DVD+R/RW, and DVD-R/RW with CD-R/RW support too!

Panasonic Blu-ray drives are the industries first, fastest, and most compatible Blu-ray drives. With the power of a Blu-ray burner comes the next generation of data storage technology. Able to burn 25GB on a single layer Blu-ray disc and up to 50GB on a double layer Blu-ray disc, the Panasonic SW-5583 has created a future for high density and secure computer and data storage including backup, high definition movies, photos and anything else you can imagine.
