The days when writing to highly compact optical storage media was a major hurdle are over. Today, users trust NEC's high-performance DVD-burners for perfect speed, precision and comfort. The best example is the AD-7170A model, whose AD-7173A variant includes top-modern Labelflash functionality. But with or without: both DVD-burners are ultra-fast in many formats. Their secret: they write to DVD-RAMs with an exceptional 12x speed. But their 18x speed when writing to DVD-Rs or DVD+Rs is also at the head of the pack, with DVD+RW, DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL neck-and-neck at 8x speed. Exceedingly fast. Don't you think?
