Is my dvd burner dual layer?

I bought my computer a couple of years ago and forget if the DVD drive is a dual layer can anyone tell me? The model listed under my system info tells me it's the HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B and the part number from my order says it's the UD461  MOD,DVD+/-RW,16,HH,HLDS,05,2ND. Thanks

    From what I've read, it is DL.

    Hi BnNorCal: If you have any burning software on your system, such as Roxio, Nero, etc., there may be a category that will tell you what media are supported by your drive. I have Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 (the OEM version) and it has a category under Tools called Disc Information. It allows me to look at all of the media types supported for both of my optical drives. I'm not sure what it would be for Nero or some of the others but if this one has it I'm pretty sure the others would have something similar. Hope this helps.
