However, they are still continuing to auction these drives with the exact same description
From an auction ending today:
Product Description
Features and Benefits
NEC has launched the NEC MultiSpin ND-1100A, one of the world's first
DVD drive able to write both DVD-R and DVD+R media at 4x speed.
The ND-1100A provides a complete solution for data backup,
storage and distribution - from sharing films and music to archiving a
massive 4.7 Gb/s of content on one DVD disk alone.
It removes the compatibility issues that have slowed the take-up of DVD re-writers by
incorporating all eight optical storage formats in one product.
Competing standards in the DVD re-writing market have left hardware manufacturers,
dealers and consumers wondering which horse to back.
The ND-1100A removes the guesswork once and for all,
enabling end-users to create disks for play-back in virtually all
DVD video players and DVD ROM drives with no compromise in performance.
The ND-1100A delivers the fastest and most reliable performance at both reading
and writing media of any multi-format DVD drive available today.
It supports 2.4x DVD+RW; 2x DVD-RW; 16x CD-R and 10x CD-RW recording,
and reads DVD-ROM at maximum 12x and CD-Rom at maximum 40x,
outstripping competitor solutions emphatically. This performance enables the ND-1100A
to record one hour of DVD Video in just 15 minutes, for example.
