    Hello, I just about purchased the s360, but need to be able to write dvd's for photo storage.

    Is it possible to upgrade the opti drive in this unit?

    Any other suggestions other than the $3k it costs for s170 configured with this?

    Information....

    Sony VAIO S360 Notebook - VGN-S360 ?

    Optional Upgrade from SonyStyle.com:
    Optical Drive

    "DVD+R Double layer / DVD+-RW Drive:
    Store up to 8.5GB of video on 1 single sided, double layer DVD dics with the DVD+R aspect of the included drive. The drive is also capable of burning to Rewritable DVD media. There are currently two types of Rewriteable DVD technology: DVD-RW and DVD+RW. This drive supports reading and writing of both of these media types"

    And...YOU need to find out the drive type that your drive bay accepts.
    Search the web for your drive specs.
