What has a 23.3 gigabyte capacity, is blue, uses cartridge based discs, and is “to replace DVD-RAM”? It’s not Blu-Ray, and it’s not HD-DVD. Stumped? It’s “Professional Disc for DATA,” one of Sony’s attempts at taking a piece of the next generation optical media market. This Buffalo drive isn’t the first PDfD drive (Sony launched one we reported a few months back), and it will still set you back about 390,000 yen (~$3,500), but where else can you find a PC and Mac way to write 23.3GB in 43 minutes? That’s named Buffalo? Ah hah!
