NEC Announce ND-1300 4x Writer

The ND-1300 is NEC´s 4x DVD writer supporting DVD+R(W) and DVD-R(W). This NEC DVD writer 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. The ND-1300 removes the guesswork one 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. ND-1300 delivers a very fast and reliable performance at both reading and writing media.

Its performance enables the ND-1300 to record one hour of DVD Video in just 15 minutes. The product also includes ACTOPC - NEC´s high resolution writing strategy to enhance the accuracy of written data. ACTOPC provides the user with improved quality of data copying - whilst allowing for local anomaly in the media- manufacturing tolerances, finger marks etc."
