Discs coated using DURABIS 2 coating technology, which protects against scratches, dirt, and fingerprint smudges

Imation has announced the availability of recordable Blu-Ray discs for the Indian market. The TDK Life on Record's (LoR) discs will come in four different variants, and are capable of recording at a speed of 4x.

The new discs include BD-R25 (single-sided, single-layer, 25GB) and BD-R50 (single-sided, dual-layer, 50GB) write-once type discs, as well as the BD-RE25 (single-sided, single-layer, 25GB) and BD-RE50 (single-sided, dual-layer, 50GB) rewritable discs. The 25GB discs can be fully recorded in 22 minutes, while the 50GB disc will take double the time.

The discs are coated using DURABIS 2 coating technology, which offers protection against scratches, dirt, and fingerprint smudges.

The BD discs also utilize inorganic materials in a two-layer structure composed of silicon (Si) and Copper (Cu). Laser beams melt these inorganic materials during the recording process, and they thus become a composite that helps in forming recording marks. These marks help the discs achieve longer data sustainability than CDs and DVDs.

The discs will be sold at all leading computer peripherals and accessories outlets, and the cost will be Rs. 500 onwards for a single Blu-ray disc.
