OT: DVD+R DL

[Richard Kreiss]

I needed to create an ISO DVD from some Microsoft Action Pack downloads.  The problem is that they are too large for the standard DVD disk

After checking, I found that there is available  DVD+R DL which is 8.5 Gb double layer recordable disk.  My Roxio DVD burner was able to burn the image.

My computer has an LG Blu-Ray writer and could easily read the disk.  I now have to see if my standard DVD drive can read this disk as it has Windows Server 2016 burned on it.

It is interesting to know that there are larger capacity DVD disks available.

I also purchased, today, a 256GB memory stick.  If memory serves, I think Samsung announced that they will be releasing a 1TB memory stick.  I remember my Tandy Model II using 450KB 8" floppy disks.  At least the technology writers are no longer writing "who need 1Tb of storage" or should I write "Who needs 15Mb of storage".

My current system has a 250GB SSD boot drive, and internal 1TB drive and an eSata 1TB drive which is almost full.  I am adding a 4TB internal drive and a 500GB M.2 2280 SSD to my system.  My next decision will be to partition the 4TB drive or leave it a 4TB.
