The modern drives write to just about all types of DVD. Note that a DVD can be already written and closed out. If the DVD is written as write once and you close it, you can not write to it again. And of course the DVD has to be a writable one purchased for that purpose.

I have writer 2.0 and started using it up to the point where I was going to burn the disc...It accepts dvd-r and dvd-r dl. Dvd-r dl is not exactly easy to find as I use dvd+r dl. I hope that it will make transfering the avchd files quickly. I have already succesfully copied the avchd files in windows explorer to a blank dvd+r and played them back in PS3. I wanted something that could create menus which is why I was trying hd writer. update: I have used this with -r and it works quickly, creates an avchd disc that plays automatically in ps3 with menus and chapters.

Yes. The listed specifications include "16x DVDRW Drive" which is a DVD/CD Read/Write drive. My Dell Inspiron 660 has this drive and it works nicely.

Yes, any type DVD it will read but your PC program (many are free) does the processing as this is only a read/write drive for a PC/mac

I have used the Kanguru Drive for DVDs and cds and it has performed very well. All formats work fine.

No - I recommend getting either an external DVD/CD reader, or an external hard drive such as a Western Digital passport that you can store larger files such as installation media, etc. and run those from the external drive.

Yes. The populated version comes with WD Red drives. Should read that in the description.

It has a DVD RW drive, but I haven't used it yet so can't tell you how well it works.

When DVD media technology was first developed, the plus (+) and dash (-) formats had different writing/reading specifications. Today, most DVD writers and readers work with no noticeable performance differences between DVD+R and DVD-R disc formats. Check with your manufacturer's suggested DVD format to ensure compatibility - especially with older units. (From Verbatim Website...)

As far as I can see the drive is normal laptop type drive in an external case. The setting appear to allow for a region code set.

For some reason...no. It has a DVD-RW drive. Good question that most people may overlook. It should either say "Blu-Ray (or BD) Burner" or "BD-RW (ReWritable)." If you're not looking to write to blu-ray, it should say "BD-ROM" or just "Blu-Ray drive."

It should read this just fine....I have used photo discs with this Superdrive with no problems.
