Anyone have the NEC ND-2500A yet?

[PizzaDude]

What do you think of it so far? How do Ritek dvd-r's work on it. Burn em at 4x? Links to 3rd party reviews would be helpful too. Thanks guys.

some members already have them. i want one. i migh buy one later this month, 150 aint too shabby. but do i really really need it? i already have the NEC 1300A -

Yea you can get 'em for like $135 even. How's your 1300a treating ya?

i love it.
used FujiFilm 2x -R (no dvd id). ran great on my 4 standalones and 2 xboxes and my other dvd drive.
Memorex 4x -R (CMC). just got these and the compatiblility is the same so far and it burns at 4x. mmm
Memorex 4x +R (Ricoh). Richohs are the best. not a problem. i use these for data backup.

i do

currently use some no name cheap dvdr's and works great at 4x.

yup ask any more questions and i'll be glad to answer.

Cool thanks. Do you backup movies with it? I plan to use mine in order to backup dvds. Probably gonna use ritek g04 disks(4x dvd-r). Ahhh, I'm just torn in whoich drive to get. I'm also considering NEC 1300a and Pioneer a06. I don't know what to do. The 2500 is tempting though.

yes i have backed up my movies, just to test it out and it works great. followed the guides on like doom9 or dvdrhelp.com

flawless so far. riteks are the best media i think currently on the market, so is princo.

i've also dont dvd backups and divx rips .. EAC audio extraction is fast on the NEC1300A -- buy my NEC1300A , so i can buy the ND2500A

write speed and the 2500 can do both DVD-r and DVD+r @ 8x which is hawt

How does this compare to LG's GSA4081BB 8X Dual Format offering? I'm stuck between the two. Primary because the benzel on the LG is more attrative.

But the specs and price are pretty much the same.

edit: LG burns DVD-R at 4x vs 8x of NEC
LG Burns CD-R at 24x vs 32x of nec

I guess I'm getting the NEC
