No it's not worth getting a second DVD-R drive because for nearly the same price, you could buy a duel writer +/- R.

Yeah you could if you have a spare ide available or pci expansion card etc....

But as Koola says.....due to costs a dual format burner would be more economical and also leave you with a free ide available for a monster HD or something.....
