R/RW drives

Could one use a DVD R/RW drive to record data just the same as a CD/RW? If so I presume a DVD RW would be a better buy...

Most DVD RWs are also CD RWs as well. Make sure you get one that does +/- DVDs to be sure that you can cover all the bases. Personally I get better results with backups to -Rs ;)
