Product Reviews: NEC ND-3520

By Jason Saundalkar

The ND-3520 proved itself a quick writer when working with +R and -R media. It finished our burn tests in six minutes and 51 seconds and 10 minutes and seven seconds. DVD+RW and -RW times were equally snappy at 13 minutes and 14 seconds and 27 minutes ...

A quick DVD burner that sports a vast amount of media support. At $80 it also offers excellent value.

Released as the follow up to the older ND-3500, NEC's ND-3520 offers quicker burn speeds as well as support for a wider range of media. Making use of the older IDE interface, the NEC is capable of writing to DVD+R and DVD-R media at 16x. Moving on...

PC Plus review: NEC ND-3520A

By Alan Dexter

It's a shame that the drive is so loud in operation, because it's a steal at this price point. You're going to have to weigh up the performance and price against making your machine sound like a dishwasher. A quieter unit would definitely be preferable.

NEC ND-3520A - DVD Writer

By Riyad Emeran

Award: Editor's Choice!

It's another new DVD writer from NEC, and it's another top class product that pushes the boundaries of the technology.

Once again NEC has created a superb DVD writer that's ahead of the competition and the media manufacturers. But even more impressive than the specifications and potential performance is the amazing price. The NEC ND-3500A is no longer the best DVD ...

So, the ND-3520A will write to DVD+/-R media at 16x, DVD+R Dual Layer discs at 4x, DVD+RW media at 8x and DVD-RW discs at 6x. Unfortunately I was unable to obtain any 6x DVD-RW or 8x DVD+RW media, although Verbatim informed me that this media will...

So, the ND-3520A will write to DVD+/-R media at 16x, DVD+R Dual Layer discs at 4x, DVD+RW media at 8x and DVD-RW discs at 6x. When I reviewed NEC's last DVD writer (the ND-3500A) I bestowed it with an Editor's Choice award - that drive raised the...

NEC ND-3520A

By Alan Dexter

The price may have you thinking this is a budget drive, but it's a cutting-edge scorcher.

It's a shame that the drive is so loud in operation, because it's a steal at this price point. You're going to have to weigh up the performance and price against making your machine sound like a dishwasher. A quieter unit would definitely be preferable.

NEC has built an intimidating reputation for itself with its range of cutting-edge DVD writers that don't cost the earth. The ND-3520A is the latest beige box to roll off the manufacturing giant's conveyor belts, and while it isn't a major upgrade...
