ND-3550A complies with the new RoHS-directive, meaning that all
components are lead-free.
ND-3550A is NEC’s third model in the market can write both DVD -R (DL)
and DVD +R(DL) in dual layers. With ND-3550A it is now possible for
rewritable RW discs to be burned with the highest speed so far in the
market, 8x for DVD +RW and 6x for DVD-RW respectively. The speed of
writing with dual layers is now 8x for +R DL.
An amazing 8.5 GB can be stored on a dual-layer disc. The large storage
capacity makes the writer suitable for users who wish to quickly and
simply store films, music and other volumes of data in a flexible way. A
one-hour DVD video can be recorded in six minutes with the ND-3550A,
irrespective of the DVD format. NEC also implemented its own developed
buffer under run error prevention technology.
The ND-3550 takes advantage of an enhanced version of NEC's own AOPC
technology (Active Optimum Power Control), which adjusts the laser
effect in real time so as to achieve optimal readability. The ND-3550A
is backwards compatible and writes on CD-R at a maximum speed of 48x.
