Bought the ND-2510A

Gardinen · Jun 22, 2004, 10:34 AM

I've now placed an order on two NEC ND-2510A Dual Layer burners. One for my dad and one for myself. I really hope there're good.

Logla · Jun 22, 2004, 01:40 PM

mmmmmmm - dual layer

how much did they cost, each?

Zardon · Jun 22, 2004, 01:45 PM

wont go far wrong with NEC DVD burners.

dipstick · Jun 22, 2004, 06:29 PM

Good choice. It's pretty much the same as the 2500A which has proven itself to be a great drive.

Logla, you can ge the OEM drive at newegg for under $90

Nacht · Jun 22, 2004, 07:36 PM

yea, as soon as my case comes in, im ordering this exact drive OEM @ 87, with the case...I cant wait...its a pretty good upgrade from my 4x 811S lite-on dvd-rw

Logla · Jun 22, 2004, 08:42 PM

I just found them on ebuyer - 60quid! whooohooo!

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jun 23, 2004, 04:26 AM

Mine will be here tomarrow

tastyweat · Jun 23, 2004, 09:17 AM

as soon as dual layer disks come down in price I'm going to flash my nd-2500 into an nd-2510

Logla · Jun 23, 2004, 09:18 AM

This is something I haven't been able to find yet. Dual Layer disks seem very rare.

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jun 23, 2004, 09:19 AM

correction it was received yesterday morning but my mom didn't call me #%$%@$%@#%

i'll have to go pick it up in the morning

The weird things is that burners have that tecnologie but there isnt really media to suport it. I find this reall odd. Doesnt make any sense having a 8x DL burner if theres no 8x media or hardly any DL media 2. And of course the media available is very little and really expensive.

Well, these drives have been out for some time now under different names

For example the NEC 2510A is a 2500A and the LiteOn 812S is a 832S. Same exact hardware on both but different firmware. I think they were just waiting for the media to get closer to release before renaming them

Well the media is available can be bought at my local best buy at lest.

I've found one brand of Dual Layer DVD media from Verbatim from www.komplett.se (a swedish site)
But those discs are extreeEeeEeemely exepensive. 5 discs for 895 SEK, that's 116.95 (calculated 23:rd juli 2004)

Logla · Jun 23, 2004, 05:34 PM

yep I found the same ones on the UK site http://komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=300721&cks=SER

60quid for 5 discs. Bloomin ridiculous.

Gardinen · Jun 23, 2004, 06:06 PM

By the way Logla. How is Komplett in the UK???

Logla · Jun 23, 2004, 06:56 PM

Dont really know to be honest as I haven't used them myself but I have heard the usual horror stories of late deliveries, missing orders, credit cards being billed twice etc.

But I cant substanciate any of that because like i say I haven't used them.

Nacht · Jun 23, 2004, 07:27 PM

there is a good bit of 8x dvd-r media...it's just the dl that hasnt found its way to mass production yet. this is soon to be changed though. that is why i am getting this burner, because there will be DL media. same reason im probably gonna get a 6800gt, because there will be dx9.0c support..just becaues it's not here yet doesnt mean anything. some people say you can burn 4x dvd-rs at 8x with no complications...it's like an ability of the burner.
