Is the Slot-load SuperMulti DVD Burner a dual layer? Can it burn 8.5gb dvds?

Don't know. Have not tried that yet. Sorry I didn't have an answer for you. It is a great drive for single layer which is what I use it for.

I have never used Dual Layer discs. The unit has been working fine with the inexpensive office store discs that we use.

These DVD+R DL's have 2 layers on one side of the actual media and yes these media has a capacity limit of 8.5G's of storage but you can write anything as long as it is not over 8.5g's... :D :)

Mine does 5 discs at a time. It looks as though they are using the same reviews for both the 5 disc duplicator and the 7 disc duplicator.

There are 4 drive bays. I haven't done so, but I understand you can rig the DVD slot for an additional drive. I have already added USB external without a problem. As far as the larger that 2TB drives - sorry, I haven't tried that. I'm running two small drives to handle the OS in a RAID configuration and 2-2TB drives in a RAID for everything else. Just haven't had a reason to upgrade beyond 2TB yet.

Hi Steve, Thanks for your interest! Regrettably, this laptop does everything but play Blu-rays. A person may watch regular DVD movies, record music and video, read and write CDs and DVDs in multiple formats, plus load apps with the SuperMulti DVD burner. We hope this helps, and we hope to get your business soon.

Sorry for the delayed response. This system does have a DVD/CD burner. The speed is 8x.

Both it will pretty much burn anything from cdrs to bluray mdiscs, I believe it is quad layer capable.

I just bpught the satellite l655-s5158 model and it says on the product detail that the dvd is an 8x super multi dvd with double layer support and labelflash printing which can label the disc without the use of a printer....nothing is discussed on the instruction manual..how do you do this

The one I received is not identical to the one in the picture. Mine says SDHC/SD Extreme - 6th generation. I have no idea if it would support 2TB because I only have tested it with up to 64GB, but so far i am quite happy with its performance.

Not that I am aware of. This is the second batch of 8X double layer from this company that does not work for coping backup movies to DVD. As far as just storing data they work just fine.

I know of at least one instance where a Sony DVD Jukebox machine DID play a burned dual-layer disk that wouldn't play on my Toshiba. Probably not much help- could have been a fluke, but it is true.

I don't know if this answers your question or not but the Sony had a 8x multi-format CD/DVD drive

It has a DVD SuperMulti drive, which will burn CDs and DVDs, even dual-layer DVDs. However, it will not burn or play Blu-ray discs.

Yes it does. However; this burner requires an upgrade which cost's $49.95 in order for you to get the full range of operations. I was not aware of this and am not happy with having to pay twice to get one thing. Be careful when purchasing this drive.

It will support 50 gigs but make sure that you DO NOT buy the LTH of any brand blue ray blank media those do not work with this machine. Apparently they have a special coating on them. I have written over 60 50 gb double layer disks and did not have a problem.
