More Room For More Movies
The BD disc can really pack it in when it comes to capacity. Blu-ray Discs truly outsize and outclass DVDs and CDs. In fact, a single layer capacity of 25GB and a double layer capacity of 50GB, you're talking almost 5 to 10 times as much room as a DVD, and 35 to 70 times as much as a CD. That translates into 135 minutes of HD quality video and sound or 9 hours of standard definition movies.

Combine that with improved BD Disc reading quality and DVD double layer disc writing quality and you will find Samsung ODDs are built to be as reliable as they are enjoyable.
