jsl was kind enough to use our newssubmit to tell us that NEC has released a variation on their earlier announced ND-1100A that was able to write to both DVD-R and DVD+R. The latest NEC model, the ND-1090A does only write to DVD+R(W).
The drive that will be available in November (the ND-1100A in December), will cost about €329 and writes DVD+R at 4x, DVD+RW at 2.4x, CD-R at 16x and CD-RW at 10x and reads CD-ROM at 40x and DVD-ROM at 12x.
Badly translated with BabelFish from German: |
NEC announces an format-independent DVD burner. With the DVD burner Nd-1100a of NEC the user is not fixed on one of the again-recordable DVD formats: It has to use the liberty DVD.R(W) or DVD+R(W). One hour DVD video can be noted in only 15 minutes. The DVD+/ R(W) burner will be available in December. Already in November NEC brings the DVD+R(W) variant of the Nd-1100a with the ND.1090A on the market.
More information about this drive can be found in the press release here. If you want a buying advice or need information on DVD hardware, then visit our just added DVD Hardware Forum (we also need new moderators!)
