RexHunt used our news submit to tell us that
Software Architects has released the first software package
that is able to write to Sony's Blue Laser drives. Blue laser drives (Blu-ray)
are able to store about 23 GB on a disc the size of a DVD and will likely
become the follow up technology for the current red laser DVD technology.


Sony is currently marketing its blue laser products as PDD (Professional
Disk for Data) and pricing is making it mainly intresting for professional
users, like TV stations and other applications where large amounts of data need
to be stored that can be easily removed and changed.

Disk Drive TuneUp™ Disk Drive TuneUp™ Pro is the only utility you need to set up, run, test, repair and back up your files to Sony PDD drives. The software is both powerful and easy to use. The product includes three utilities: '¢ Disk Drive TuneUp (includes the formatting/testing application, UDF file system component, and the device driver suite), '¢ FixUDF!™ Disk Repair & File Recovery Utility '¢ DataSaver™ Personal Backup

The software also provides an  'drive letter interface"
for reading and writing to disc. You can also use dragging &
dropping files to add, arrange or delete from the disc within Windows Explorer.
Third party applications can access the disc using standard Windows system
calls. More information can be found here.
