Yeah, ok I want one of these. The new Pioneeer BDR-XD04 is their or most probably the smallest and lightest blu-ray burner on the market today. This thing can handle the 25gb and 50gb discs, I can do a lot of backups on those. I’m really tired of using DVDs for my backups, it just …

Well this is a change from what they said earlier, DVDs will be staying at Netflix.com now and not Qwikster. I wonder what brought about the change?

Today for review I’ve got the Vantec NexStar Universal Storage Adapter, it’s a long name but it can do quite a bit.
