Following our earlier reported post about the BDXL discs, it looks as if  Akibara News is  reporting the announcement of both external and internal BDXL drives forthcoming.

These new drives should offer much needed storage and archival expansion for medical images which continue to explode in size as newer technology utilizing multiple scans and 3d become more commonplace.

It will be interesting to see which of the three major disc publishers (Microboards, Primera, Rimage) will be the first to market with integrated BDXL drives into there systems.
