DVD recording towers are commonplace in certain businesses but like most technologies they have their less upstanding supporters too. DVD pirates love them and with high-def movies on the way, they'll be rubbing their grubby little hands right now becuase Blu-ray solutions are starting to arrive.

Microboards Technology has launched what it claims is the first multi-drive Blu-Ray system with both duplication and recording functionality. The CopyWriter Blu-Ray will be used for recording and duplicating stored multimedia and data content and uses standard BD-R and BD-RE (rewriteable) discs up to 25GB.

The price for a 10-recorder system is just over £10,000 while the 4-recorder version costs around £5,000. Don’t expect speedy back-ups though since this is first-gen tech so its 2x at the most. The system will also record and duplicate DVD-R discs. –Martin Lynch
