So this thing is capable of storing the same amount of data as
a dual-layer DVD? What kind of media does it use?

To store that much data, you have to use the Sony with a recordable
dual-layered disc. Sony actually introduced the drive before the blank media
was available to take advantage of that option, I believe.

It can use standard 4.7 gig discs as well.

Not quite. It's still new and emerging so anything can change before
other DVD burner comes out. From what I heard, it burns up to 8.5GB

Dual layer media to be used in a dual layer burner. Who'd a thunk it?
