Samsung's first dual function internal Blu-ray disc player, the SH-B083 COMBO, that reads Blu-ray discs and reads and writes to CD and DVD format discs.

The Samsung Blu-ray disc drive for PCs is available with capacities of up to 25GB for a single layer disc and 50GB for a double layer disc.The SH-B083 will be available in November in the U.S. through retail and online retailers. Pricing wasn't disclosed.

COMBO drive is equipped with two lenses for more stable reading and writing. One of the lenses is for Blu-ray reads and the other is for CD/DVD reads and writes.

The COMBO drive also features low power consumption and an aerodynamic frame design to lower acoustic noise, Samsung stated in a press release.

The drive has an updated look with the front bezel, or front panel, including a mirror front door design and blue LED. The drive is also lighter weight and has a shorter body than previous iterations of Samsung's Blu-ray drives, which reduces internal heat and helps to make disc loading more efficient.
