"The MCE Technologies 6X Blu-ray Internal Recordable Drive for Apple Mac Pro and Power Mac is the fastest and most versatile Blu-ray drive we have ever shipped. 300% faster than our previous Blu-ray drive for the Mac, it comes to you completely pre-configured for easy user installation," says MCE Technologies.

Moreover, the MCE Technologies 6X Blu-ray Internal Recordable Drive reads HD DVD-ROM discs as well as burn LightScribe labels onto compatible DVD or CD media, while the drive has a 4MB buffer for writing Blu-ray Disc and DVD media. Buffer Underrun protection is also built-in, according to MCE Technologies.

Just a quick note about MCE Technologies: I recently ordered one of their products (an OptiBay). They managed to screw up pretty much everything:

- Shipping to the wrong address (billing address instead of shipping address)
- I paid premium/express shipping, yet, they only sent it with economy (I noticed on FedEx tracking #). I requested to get my money back (8$) twice, but they don't reply on the e-mails.
- Seems like they shipped wrong version of the OptiBay. At least no screws or anything, fits like they're supposed to. Plus, the documentation is totally useless, out-dated and poorly written.

Too bad. OptiBay seemed like a great idea, but the company behind it, just sucks. MCE Technologies - if you read this, feel free to contact me. I guess you can find my e-mail in your inbox somewhere. I'll _never_ buy anything from MCE Technologies again.
