Ultra-fast 12x speed with USB 3.0 technology:
With a modern USB 3.0 connection, the eHBU212 offers lightening fast writing speeds of 12x and smooth, uninterrupted Blu-ray movie playback. What’s more, the drive is compatible with previous USB 2.0 systems to deliver versatility across the home and office.
Enjoy high definition movies without costly upgrades:
Movie fans don’t need to upgrade their entire home cinema system to enjoy their favourite flicks in high definition. The eHBU212 provides a simple, plug-and-play way to turn your desktop or laptop into a Blu-ray player, capable of delivering graphics in stunning 1920x1080p high definition with superior audio.
Back-up vast quantities of data onto a single disc:
With a whopping 50GB storage space available on just one Blu-ray disc (Double Layer), the days of needing countless disc to back-up and share large media collections are gone. Just one disc offers space for up to 10,000 12 megapixel photos or 625 hours of continuous music – more than enough to share precious memories or keep the kids quiet on long journeys.
Get the most out of Blu-ray with Cyberlink software:
The eHBU212 is bundled with the Cyberlink Blu-Ray Suite which offers an array of tools and software to make the most of Blu-ray for both writing data or playing movies, including advanced burning tools and DVD video editing.
Fun and easy disc labelling with LightScribe:
With Lightscribe functionality, the eHBU212 drive offers a creative touch to discs, without extra hardware or fussy marker pens. The easy-to-use and smudge-free disc-labelling system uses the Blu-ray laser and bundled software to ‘etch’ the desired design onto Lightscribe media – simply write the data, flip the disc then burn the label for a colourful and consistent finish.
Reduce wasted discs with SMART Burn technology:
SMART Burn technology compares the disc to be burned with an updated list from Lite-On and automatically adjusts the writing strategy to provide the best burn quality. This intelligent system reduces disc errors and wasted discs to save both time and money.
The eHBU212 will be approximately £148 SRP and is available this month from a selection of retailers.
