HD DVD-R is the writable disc variant of HD DVD, and is available with a single-layer capacity of 15GB or dual-layer capacity of 30GB.[1] Currently, HD DVD-R has slower write speeds than the competing BD-R format (1–2x vs 1–4x) and lower storage capacity.
Pricing of HD DVD devices and blank media is yet to be released (September, 2006), but it is expected that devices will be available at a lower price-point than the competing Blu-ray Disc format.
