Updatable from FW version 1.06 and 1.07.
Superior in many formats – especially in DVD-RAM.
Do you wish to achieve optimal rewriteability and increased data security with your DVDs? In that case, the DVD-RAM format is especially recommendable. Here’s a tip: Our DVD/CD burner ND-4550A is the ideal device to burn your DVD-RAM media at rapid speeds of 5x.
Besides DVD-RAM, the ND-4550A can also handle the entire spectrum of common DVD and CD formats. As you can rightfully expect from a device of this class, it operates not only securely and reliably but also at extremely high speeds in all disciplines. DVD R and DVD–R are written at speeds of 16x. Your “Newcomer” has speeds of 8x in the DVD RW and DVD R9 formats. And it can achieve high speeds of 6x for DVD-RW/DVD-R DL. Laudable mention must be made of its CD-specific write performance at 48x (CD-R) and 32x (CD-RW). And it is unsurpassed in its class in reading DVDs (16x) and CDs (48x).
All components of the ND-4550A are “lead-free” and therefore already comply with the statutory recycling standards that come into effect on January 1, 2006.
