MCE Technologies (MCE) today announced a new slot-loading 8X DVD-Recordable internal SuperDrive upgrade with both DVD+R DL ("Double Layer") and, for the first time in a Powerbook drive, DVD-R DL ("Dual Layer") support.

The MCE 8X SuperDrive can write 4.7GB DVD-R/RW and 4.7GB DVD+R/RW media at up to 8X speed and DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL media (up to 8.5GB of data) at up to 4X speed on a single side.  The upgrade retails for $199 or $249, depending on which drive you are upgrading from, and is available now from MCE and MCE Authorized Dealers.

The drive is bootable and fully compatible with iTunes, iDVD, Finder Burning, iPhoto, and DVD Player. Compatibility with Mac OS 9.x through Mac OS X 10.4 is enabled through the MCE driver software, which is included with the drive.

Burn baby, burn... oh yeah!
