There is a variety of media available to use with your Multi-Format DVD Writer or Blu-ray Triple Writer,
also known as "optical drives".
Your system may contain one of the following optical drives:
Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer: This drive allows you to access movies, software, and audio
DVD/CDs as well as to read and write to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and
DVD RAM discs. The dual-layer architecture allows you to record up to 8.5 GB of data on DVD+R discs.
Blu-ray Triple Writer: The Blu-ray Triple Writer allows you to read and write to CDs, DVDs and Blu-
ray discs™. The Triple Writer can store up to 25 GB of data on a single-layer Blu-ray disc. That's the
equivalent of 2.5 hours of high-definition or 12 hours of standard definition video.
