Summary: Not good with the NEC ND-2500A
Review: I bought an NEC ND-2500A 8X burner last month and bought a pack of Memorex 8X DVD-R's for my first burns. They ended up only burning at 4X, which is acceptable at this state of the DVD-R game. After reading through some forums, I found out that FujiFilm 4X DVD-R 10-packs were known to burn at 8X as they are Taiyo Yuden media. So I bought those and they indeed burned at twice their rated speed.

These Imation discs, however, max out at 2X. Even after downloading some "tweaked" firmware from the http://www.rpc1.org forums. Bummer!

Anyone looking for good media for their specific burner should read up on forums as much as possible before buying packs of 25, 50, or 100 DVD-R's or DVD+R's. I hear +R's are much better overall, so I'll be sticking with them from now on.

Recommended brands:
Taiyo Yuden, Mitsubishi, Verbatim, TDK, FujiFilm, HP, Mitsui.
