Does the Nec 2510a burn at 8x?

[Arkitech]

I recently bought a few Memorex 8x dvds to backup some data but I can't seem to get more than 4x when burning disks.

Anyone ever had this problem before?

It burns some DVD's at 8x, but not all formats. Scroll down on this page for a list.

Have you installed the latest firmware, it should add more supported 8x media

It wouldn't hurt to make sure the drive's in UDMA mode. I've found that Windows likes to default to PIO mode for optical drives.
