Current DVD-R/RW capacity is 4.7GB per side. Double sided DVD-RAMs hold 9.4GB. I have fitted my Rev:D iMac with 120GB HDD but no way to back it up since this machine does not come with a CD-R/RW. I am thinking of getting the Pioneer 105 DVD-R/RW and putting it into a firewire case. That would hopefully allow high capacity backups. Meanwhile, for those that have a 20GB iPod, back up to that. And don't bother with the +R/RW standard, even if it may hold a tiny bit more, since it will not make it to the mainstream due to a lack of manufacturer support and the upcoming blue laser will make it obsolete. - Les -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
