Product Reviews: NEC ND-3520

By Jason Saundalkar (itp.net)

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 very capable drive for little cash

By yummifruitbat (ciao.co.uk)

After my Asus CD-RW bit the dust (the obligatory 1 month out of warranty), I decided the time was right to shift up a technology level and invest in a DVD writer. Prices have gone through the floor in the past couple of years and you can now pick up a DVD...

Good quality, reliable, flexible, inexpensive

Not the prettiest drive available
