The drive reads Blu-ray discs and reads/writes CDs and DVDs. It features Buffer Under Run technology to prevent stuttering playback. The SE-406A provides a variety of speeds across different media types including: 6X BD-R, 4X BD-R Dual Layer, 24X CD-ROM, 24X CD-RW, 8X DVD±R recording, 8X DVD-RAM recording, 6X DVD+R Dual Layer recording, 6X DVD-R Dual Layer recording, 8X DVD+RW recording and 6X DVD-RW recording.
The SE-406A comes with CyberLink TrueTheater "to test PC readiness for 3D and Blu-ray content,", so it is unclear whether this drive comes with software that will actually play Blu-ray discs.
The Samsung SE-406A will be available this April for $150.
