Has anyone tried the Multi Drive upgrade from MCE Technologies:

Has anyone heard anything? Pros/Cons?

Thanks

Just a little note, DVD-RAM is very incompatible with normal DVD readers and most DVD-Burners. You might as well get the superdrive, and try to find two sided media, that would equal the same storage. They are using 4.7 GB Double sided DVD-RAM (total 9.4 GB).

Thanks for the tip about DVD-RAM. (Being a novice, I know very little about DVD media.) Would I still be able to use that particular Super Drive (from MCE) to burn whatever DVD media Apple recommends?
