Any comments on NEC DVD_RW ND-4551A? Is it a DVD-RW or DVD+RW firmware
drive. Which media is it best in writing? I recently replaced my broken
MSI DR8-A2 with this one. According to the specifications it should be
able to handle, DVD+-R, DVD+-R DL, DVD+-RW and DVD-RAM and even
LabelFlash in the future.
