Pioneer Electronics yesterday announced one of the industry’s first Blu-ray Disc computer drives will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2006. The company expects the drive to revolutionize digital and high-definition media storage. The new Pioneer BDR-101A uses shorter wavelength blue lasers in order to store up to 25 gigabytes of information on a single layer Blu-ray disc. Storage capacity in a stable medium is critical, noted Andy Parsons, senior vice president at Pioneer Electronics.
