According to the product detail page, it comes with DVD-+R/CDRW, that means it can read and write CD's but cannot write DVD discs. We at designix-us offers is with DVD/CD-RW Combo optical drive, which means the drive can read and write on both CD's and DVD discs. Most often times this laptops comes with either depending on the specs at time of manufacture.

They are probably identical except for packaging color. You may need to see if your equipment requires +R or -R discs if it is older, but the DVD-R is most common.

T.R.MillerAre you saying that you can continually record over DVD+RW (read-write) discs?

I purchased this a replacement dvd rom drive for my old laptop. This drive can read DVD -R/RW but does not record them. Hope this helps.

This is a tray-based drive, so it should read any optical disc type. It reads mini CDs, I know that much.

I would go with the description. You might try Googling the part number to make certain. I only burn the -R, as the +R doesn't seem to be as universally compatible with both computer and dvd players from what I've personally deduced.

There is an Optical Drive: Tray load DVD Drive (Reads and Writes to DVD/CD) in addition to the other media in/out ports.

You can as long as your DVD has a record function. There shouldn't be any other reason not to be able to (other than read disc errors).

Not single files... You will need to have them burned to disk using Cyberlink Power Director or another program that will convert and burn them to "DVD Video" or "BluRay" for it to read them

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

Wish I could help, but I only have DVD RW disks. This machine works beautifully on those.

The ones I received are just DVD+R and were not compatible for my device, I could not use them.

On the front of the drive it says "DVD+R DL." I interpret this to mean a "yes" answer to your question. In spite of what this also implies, I can tell you from experience that it will also handle DVD rewritables. The only thing I noticed when using it was that it wrote quite a bit faster than I expected. I would definitely buy these drives again. One caution, though. This is a SATA drive and cannot be used with an IDE connector. Be sure you have an available SATA port before you spend money for it.
