Panasonic To Ship Form Factor-Standard Blu-ray Drive 94
Lucas123 writes "Panasonic plans to unveil the thinnest Blu-ray Disc drive made yet at the upcoming CES show. The drive is 9.5mm high, which allows it to fit into standard laptop form factors instead of requiring manufacturers to redesign systems to fit high-def DVD players as they've been doing. 'Panasonic has already begun offering samples of the drives to laptop makers with the hope that the companies will build it into new PCs.'"

(diskSize/((60*60)/(xRating)))'s

Arguing the merits of 7mm vs 9mm sizes? Yeah that's a real hot button issue.

1x happens to be 150KB/s, but that wasn't the original definition.
