Hi, I saw the NEC nd2500 8x DVD - and + burner at blankdiskshop.co.uk, I'm happy with my 106d but I'm wondering if I should recommend this DVD writer to my friend (otherwise I might just tell him to get a 106d too). Anyone know anything about this burner, is it anygood? for the price (under 100 quid!) and speeds of 8x on -/+R it sounds good. also anyone know how much the next pioneer writer that will do 8x on - and +R might cost? I trust pioneer more than any of the other writers u see...
Hi I got this drive 3 dayds ago to replace the Sony 500ax crap I had used for the past 10 months. So far I have burned 36 disks not 1 problem. I haven't any 8x disks but Arita ritek 4x+r start at 4x and when it when it reaches 22% goes to 6x. Datasafe Ritek g04 write @ 4x Arita Ritek g04 write @ 4x Verbatim 4x -r are reported to write 8x I have ordered some they should be here tomorrow. So very happy with mine so far. Don't ask about Princo as I won't use them.
Update Verbatim 4x -r certified Burns @ Start 4x when it hits 22% goes to 6x when it hits 50% goes to 8x then flickers between 8 + 8.1 unill the end.

I won't pretend I can really understand most of that, but still thanks for the reply, seems fast... reliable?
