    Hey folks!! I checked internet for 2 mins, but not so much time, is someone of you can give me information about the Blu-ray. I want to know if the Blu-ray has Rewrite-Write option?? And the speeds for reading and writing??

    I have 2 options, A) 6GB ram, DVD writer, W7 home premium 64bit, 500GB HDD
    B) 8 GB ram, Blu-ray, W7 ultimate 64 bit, 1 TB HDD

    There is price difference like 500 Dollars, is it worth to buy "A", maybe i can upgrade it with a SSD. But for "B" it is very good for writing Blu-ray for games etc...
    Thanks in advance!!

    The blu-ray portion is read only. It burns DVD's and CD's, but just reads blu-ray's.

    Reselers like XoticPc offer read/writer Blu-Ray drives.
