By using Nero CD-DVD Speed with DVD-R and DVD+R media, we are able to see the 8X Z-CLV recording technology being used by the recorder.


The drive's writing performance was the same for both formats. The recorder
started writing at 4.13X and reached a maximum value of 8.28X, with
an average speed of 6.79X.
- Burning Tests
We burned 4315MB of data on various DVD±R, DVD±RW media. We used the maximum allowed writing speed for each disc.

Recording times seem to be the same for most DVD-R media,
except for Promedia 8X media which was only 2 seconds slower. The drive completed
a successful burn at 8X in 9:29mins.

- DVD Overburning Tests
Using Nero CD-DVD Speed, we tested if the NEC ND-2510A can overburn using
DVD+R and DVD-R media. Unfortunately, the drive does not support overburning,
giving
the following error with all inserted media.


- DVD+MRW Tests
The NEC ND-2510A does not support Mount Rainier.
