Imation To Offer 6X BD-R Media Under TDK Brand
Imation Ltd. will release its first 6x BD-R and BD-R DL media in Japan next month, under the TDK brand.
The new 6x BD-R media offer have a wide power margin at any writing speeds from 1X to 6X. In addition, Imation unveiled the first BD-R DL media for 6x recording. Both types of discs will be available in Japan in the end of September for 1,500 Yen ($13.85) and 3,000 Yen ($27.7), respectively.
The company will offer the new Blu-ray discs in versions for both recording (for BD recorders) and data (for PC use). All new products feature TDK’s Durabis 2 hard coating layer for enhanced protection against dust and scratches.
The Blu-ray Disc Association approved the BD-R recording specifications for 6x (Blu-ray Disc Recordable Format Ver.1.3) last March.
Imation acquired TDK brand world wide recording media business last year.
Japansese Panasonic has also released 6x BD-R and BD-R DL discs this earlier this month.

Educational Broadcaster says,
It`s good to see yet another brand of blank Blu(e)-Ray disk come along. Small side spam here, Duplicators who wear out Blu-Ray recorders in bulk, please make a huge box of worn-outs and e- mail me at educationalbroadcasting@hotmail.com. I`d like to purchase enough of them in bulk to make some working units here. (My favorite`s the Liteon 4X because it works on Linux).
Please confer here favorite video editing programs in Linux, too.
The 2X is said to not work on Linux but the 4X was introduced a month after my telephone call, did you call, too? -
Richard Dearing says,
We’ve tested these in-house and this is a high quality Blu-ray disc from one of the top manufacturers.
One suggestion, make sure you check your recorders firmware before ordering 6x media especially if you are using a tower duplicator. Some of the early (first generation) drives and some drives with firmware modified by duplicator manufacturers will not support 6x Blu-ray discs.
