ILY Enterprise unveils "world's first" 6x SATA Blu-ray duplicator


ILY Enterprise is totally playing word games here with its "world's first" 6x SATA Blu-ray duplicator, but we suspect it actually is a tad quicker than Vinpower Digital's comparable unit. As the company states, this unit boasts a controller that is "specifically designed and built for a SATA connection to reduce the cost and work more reliably than IDE-converted-SATA units," though we can't say if you'll actually notice the difference in speed without a stopwatch. Whatever the case, those interested in firing up their own piracy farm movie production company can acquire one now (from 1 to 11 targets) for a presumably lofty price. Oh, and judging by those logos, we reckon these drives could be used to play back some of your old HD DVDs during off-hours -- talk about a nice perk.

Vinpower Digital rolls out 6x Blu-ray Disc duplicator

Nary a fortnight after Aleratec unveiled its three-drive BD duplicator, along comes Vinpower Digital with the "world's first" 6x version. The standalone tower, part of the firm's SharkBlu series, relies on LG's GGW-H20L to toast Blu-ray copies at 6x, and these buggers can apparently be purchased with 1 to 15 drives depending on your needs. Additionally, you'll find 500GB to 1TB of hard drive space for temporary storage while burning, and the built-in USB interface ensures that it can double as a traditional external Blu-ray writer, too. No word on pricing at the moment, but we'd estimate they won't run you cheap.

Aleratec launches three-drive LightScribe Blu-ray Disc duplicator


Blu-ray duplication systems have been on the block for a good while now, but apparently, Aleratec's flavor does something that none of the other cool kids can even dream of: it supports LightScribe. The 1:3 Copy Cruiser Blu LS houses a trio of LightScribe-enabled SATA Blu-ray burners that can toast BD-Rs at 6x as well as vanilla DVDs and CDs at much higher speeds. You'll even find a built-in eSATA connector and a dual channel eSATA host adapter bundled in for those who need one. Here's the rough part -- this critter will set you back a staggering $3,199, so you best be making some serious coin on whatever you're duplicating for this to be even close to a sound investment.
