NEC 1300A and the Optorite DD0203

[Silentbob343]

I've seen many topics about various problems associated with the Optorite DD0203, usually centering on DVD compatibility. I found this NEC on Newegg for the same price as the Optorite. The writing speeds look to be identical on both drives. The drive is mainly needed for data back up with the occasional movie being burned. I’m not looking at making the purchase until I see a review for LITE ON’s +/- drive coming out later this year.

I guess the main question is why no talk about NEC’s drive? I did a forum search and found a couple of discussions but not a whole lot.

Do a search on NEC ND-1300A at the Firmware Page Forum:

and you'll get all the info regarding this drive.

We have a review of the TDK 440N on the way. It's based on that drive.
