what is the benefit of the dual drive over just the one? Do these burn CD's?

all DVD burners will burn CDs. The "dual" could refer to dual layer DVDs. As you might guess, a DVD with dual layers has more capacity (around 8.5 GB) versus a single layer DVD (4.7 GB).
But the way you have it written, it seems to refer to two drive units: one only reads DVDs (and CDs), the other can also burn them. The advantage to this setup is that if you want to copy a disc, you can put that disc in the first drive and a blank disc in the DVD burner and go ahead and make the copy. Otherwise (with only a single drive), you have to copy the disc to your hard drive first. If you do a lot of disc copying, then this would be important. Or if you could use the one as a player for movies or music CDs while still having the other drive available for other tasks.

maximum in all risk the two drives definitely do a similar issues. Optical drives which could burn DVDs are primary presently and maximum of them can burn twin layer discs. additionally, they are widely properly suited with rather lots any clean disc you may discover in shops. i might guess in case you regarded on the tech specs, the two optical drives can do a similar issues. twin layer refers to bathe DVDs which could carry some thing around 8 GB of records. there's a layer below the right (seen) layer. that is style of like sandwiching 2 discs mutually onto one. as a techniques via fact the photos enjoying cards, i'm not sure. i will attempt and seem them up and see what they adjustments are. Please be conscious that Photoshop is a marginally severe utility which could consume up a impressive style of supplies. Yoiu could think of a few laptop with a discrete photos card that has its own video memory. in case you're using Photoshop hardly you should purchase a laptop for wearing around and then purchase a elementary own pc for Photoshop. own pc aspects are extra fee-effective and lots extra versatile.

the difference is the "dual" you can burn all the cd and dvd's that the first one can plus dual layer dvdr which is almost double the size of the regular dvd5 4.7 gig.
Dual Layer Media (DVD-R DL) or Double Layer Media (DVD+R DL) ,means that much like commercially pressed DVD-ROMs, these recordable discs have two layers of dye, almost doubling the size of older DVD5 format to 8.5gb. This is a recordable DVD9 format.

the first one is a single drive.
the second 'dual' are two drives, a DVD Player (16xDVD Rom) and a DVD recorder.

And the blank dual layer dvds are expensive.
