what type of cd/dvd can hold the most data?

Dual layer DVD ofcourse. It can hold data upto 7.9 GB (Claim to hold 8.5 GB) whereas the runner up single layer DVD can hold data upto 4.38 GB (Claim to hold 4.5 GB).\n\nBut the you also get Blue-ray dual layer disc in the market which can hold 50 GB.

There should not be. In fact, you can mix n match of Floppy, CD RW, CD Player, externals drives all in one Windows Box. That may be true on Linux also.\n\nBut, it may not be true on weird servers from biggies :-)

Dual Layer recording allows DVD-R and DVD+R discs to store significantly more data, up to 8.5 Gigabytes per disc, compared with 4.7 Gigabytes for single-layer discs. DVD-R DL was developed for the DVD Forum by Pioneer Corporation, DVD+R DL was developed for the DVD+RW Alliance by Sony.

In my opinion, it's DVDDecrypter.  Find it at http://www.doom9.org/ in the downloads section.  You can also find other software and opinions there.

lots of people been asking these kind of questions in computer forum..\n\nas far i know, plextor provide the best optical drives, despite the fact that they are more expensive.. if you are in budget then go of NEC .\n\nif you use lots of ur dvdr-w room, you will notice the performance will decrease from time to time, so it is good to have 2 burner and use them alternatively

USB External hard drives are very affordable and have the advantage of being portable. Another alternative is copying your data to a DVD(s). Then store them offsite in case of a fire or other disaster.

Floppy disc usage is becoming rare. People use CDs instead to store files. I can't think of any advantages right now.

They are both the same, along with CD+R/W  it just means that one u can use over and over again and the other you can right to just once.  both hold 700MB. Your program u use to burn your data, there is always setting to "Overburn" but it can damage the disc or the drive.

Well, the obvious advantage is capacity. A DVD will hold much more on one disk than a CD.\n\nDisadvantages I can think of to using a DVD is that it may burn slower than a CD depending on your drive. It is also more expensive depending on the brand. Also, pretty much all computers have CD drives, but not all have DVD drives, so a CD is more compatible.\n\nBottom line, if a CD has all the capacity you need, that is probably the best choice. If you need to hold more data on each disk, go with DVD.

The answer on your question depends on the size of the files to be backed up, however I recommend you to use the external hard drive. I think that is the best place for backup storage because it is bigger than CDs/DVDs and it is not such corruptible.

It is dual layer dvd, meaning you can burn 2 layers on certain types of dics and instead of fitting 4.7 gb's you can fit 9.4gb.  Pretty nice to have!

No, afraid not. It's just not made to hold that much information. The groves are not as close together to compress that much on a CD.\n\nI've heard of software that will allow a DVD movie to be put onto a CD with little loss of quality, but never seen it in action.
