Blu-ray may be behind when it comes to selling stand-alone players, but there seems to be a lot of manufacturers making Blu-ray recorders for computers. Plextor has announced their PX-B900A BD writer. The PX-B900A can write BD-R and re-write BD-RE discs at 2x speed. It’ll write up to 25GB on a single layer disc and up to 50GB on dual-layer discs.

Not only is it a dual-layer BD burner, but it does dual-layer DVD discs as well. It combines the DVD+/-R/RW and RAM formats into one. Write speeds are 2x BD-R/BD-RE, 8x DVD+R/-R/+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 4x DVD+R/-R DL, 5x DVD-RAM, 24x CD-R and 16x CD-RW.

The Plextor PX-B900A BD writer will be available in September or October.
