MCE 8x Dual Layer/Double Layer SuperDrive Upgrades for PowerBooks

Double Layer DVDMCE Technologies announced a new slot-loading 8X DVD-recordable internal SuperDrive upgrade for Aluminum and Titanium PowerBook G4s with both Dual Layer (DVD-R DL) and Double Layer (DVD+R DL) support. The MCE 8X SuperDrive can burn 4.7GB DVD-R/RW and 4.7GB DVD+R/RW discs at up to 8X speed and DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL discs (up to 8.5GB of data) at up to 4X speed. The drive upgrades cost US$199 or US$249, depending on which drive you own.
Dual Layer disks are DVD’s that have multiple layers. These layers can contain over four hours of information on a single side of the disk. All this means is that more information can be held on a dual layer DVD so that you can get more out of the DVD. (DVD Magnet).
For more information on Double Layer DVDs I recommend reading CDRLabs’
