NEC 4550 Review


NEC makes some excellent DVD writers, and now they're coming out with a "super drive." A few days ago, I reported that the new trend was that the DVD drives could write to the DVD-RAM standard. Now, we have another example of this trend.
To sum it all up, this is what we would say: Although the NEC ND-4550A is a very new drive, and no firmware updates are yet available. This drive performs extremely well. Reading performance is excellent and writing performance on the tested media is very good. DVD-RAM support read/write is also a very welcome addition.

While the full report is pending further testing, the early signs are that this drive should be a very strong writer.
