jdub used our news submit to tell us that NewEgg
has started selling the Nec 3520A which is the successor to the Nec
3500A. The Drive specs have hardly changed apart from the RW rewriting
speeds. The Plus +RW format can now be written at 8x and the Minus -RW format
can be written at 6x. Apart from those changes to the RW writing
speeds the drive looks and has the same specifications as the previous Nec
3500 Drive. CDfreaks have already looked at the upraded RW writing
speed of the drive and the media results can be found in the Nec
forum. DVD+RW @ 8x and DVD-RW @ 6x
results.

Im suprised Nec didnt try to get the minus -RW format to write at 8x or upgrade the Dual layer writing speed to 5 or 6x. They should have also tried to include the -R Dual Layer capability now that the format has been approved.
