Further signs that the Blu-ray tide is going out, never to return, come from Japanese peripherals maker Buffalo. This week, the networking, external storage, and USB hubs specialist has announced that the three Blu-ray drives that it currently markets are going to be withdrawn in July. Moreover, “there will be no successor model,” according to a report published by AV Watch (machine translation), citing a company statement.
You may be familiar with Buffalo networking, external storage, and hub-style peripherals. But, while we are pretty certain you won’t be familiar with the alphabetti spaghetti named "BRXLPT6U3E", "BRXLPTV63B", and "BRXLPTWOU3" drives. Suffice to say, they are all portable USB-attached Blu-ray drives with read/write functionality. As such, they also cover the read/write bases for folks who need an optical rewriter for DVD and CD-ROM media.
