    Hey Guys -

    I have to ask.... Is the M17x's slot loading drive, capable of double layer recording...

    Im asking since i went to bestbuy to get some blank DVD-R disks, and i came across some Verbatim - 20-Pack 6x DVD+R DL Double-Layer Disc Spindle... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7642562&st=dvd+r&lp=2&type=product&cp=1&id=1134697746286

    Im not to sure if the slot loading disk disk drives are capable of double layer recording as of yet... More than likely wrong though?

    thanks guys

    They are advertised as:
    So I would hope they write both layers.
