:5.2GB(double side) media is around $35, you can use them as 2.3GB x 2
:disks.

:Enabling raw-write in scsi_cd.c, you can newfs/mount DVD-RAM as UFS.
:Write speed is around 500KB/s, and read speed is around 1.4MB/s.

Isn't that the drive with the enclosed DVD disk -- kinda like a permanent
caddy? I've avoided the DVD-RAM drives because of that and because the
standard is still going through major changes. I expect those drives
to become obsolete very quickly once the technology settles down. But in
a year or two when the DVD-writers come down in price I'll probably
start using them.
