It looks like they have been busy over at CDDRLabs again and this time they bring us a nice drive to look at from NEC:
| While affordably priced, NEC's new DVD±RW offers many of the features found on more expensive writers. Along with support for most CD and DVD formats, the ND-3540A sports some pretty impressive specs including 16x DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW and 6x DVD-R DL writing speeds and a maximum DVD read speed of 16x. More importantly, it's one of the first drives with the ability to write to DVD+R DL media at 8x. The ND-3540A also includes features like a 2MB buffer and support for some sort of buffer underrun protection, but lacks bitsetting support for single layer DVD+R and DVD+RW media. Even then, the NEC ND-3540A scores a 9 out of 10 for its features.

Head on over to see why Ian gave this hardware a 9 out of 10 rating *for features* and then make sure to give him your thoughts on the review. In addition, if you are an NEC fan like so many here at CD Freaks, then take the time to visit our NEC subforum for the latest on these drives and also maybe you can snag some custom firmwares from Liggy & Dee here.
