25 GB on one disc = 5x more capacity than a DVD
Blu-ray is the most advanced high capacity optical disc format ever. Thanks to the major advances in BD laser technology, you can store up to 25GB on a single disc. That's five times more than existing (single layer) DVDs.

Precision tooled stampers guarantee superior quality

Stable inorganic recording layers ensure reliability
