Description:	The Double Layer DVD R DL discs can store up to 8.5GB of information or up to 4 hours of MPEG-2 on a single sided disk with 2 recording layers. Perfect for storing large digital picture collections, your music library, backing up your computer, or creating home movies. What's more, DVD R DL discs are compatible with many home dvd players.This dual format Drive burns all popular DVD formats. I like it becuase it was plug and play with Fedora Core 4, kernel 2.6..and K3B writing program. I ran some basic tests using regular DVD - RW media and it worked perfectly. Both cables are included, USB 2.0 and i-Link interface for instalation right out of the box. It also comes with it's own power supply so make sure you have an extra plug.

This drive is compatible with almost every known DVD media on the planet.

I've only tested the regular DVD RW and DVD R media (4gb) and it was perfect but you can get dual layered media that can hold up to 8.5 GB! Two choices of connection i-Link cable that has the 400Mbps transfer rate or the USB 2.0 that has a 480Mbps, both cable are included as well as the Nero 6 suit for Windows.

Tons of storage and a good price, I sent in the 30 dollar mail in rebate so I'm really only paying 130 dollars total. One of the features of an external drive that I love is that you can share it with your Laptop. Your not stuck like with the internal drives. I love this DVD drive and it's nice to look at, Silver polished metal look.
