Samsung yesterday launched its first internal Blu-ray disc COMBO, the SH-B083. The Samsung Blu-ray disc drive supports single as well as dual layer disc format and boast of up to 8X speed for BD-R and BD-ROMs reads. The COMBO drive also reads CDs at up to 40x and DVDs at up to 16x.

With Samsung’s fast dual layer jumping algorithm, the new SH-B083 COMBO drive features an average access speed of 350ms which is much faster than any other drive on the market. The new drive reads Blu-ray discs and reads and writes CD/DVDs.

The new eco-friendly drive features low power consumption and an aerodynamic frame design to lower acoustic noise by preventing pressure concentration in several areas of the bezel and door.

With Cyberlink TrueTheater software, users can upscale a DVD resolution movie to full HD resolution.

The SH-B083 is available from November in the US.
