Wow. So that's like $30 for the drive, and somewhere in the neighbourhood of $30 for the media!

*sigh* I think all of my drives are dual layer now, but I keep waiting for the media to come down in price.

You can make some media dual sided by cutting along the edge. Unfortunately this type of media has fallen out of use.

Something tells me it's less popular than even floppy-tape is... Something about holding 400K tops (with a custom format, that is).
