NEC to ship slim type DVD+R DL burners for Dell notebooks

It looks like double layer burners in slim type format is on its way too because Dell's website unveils the specifications of the NEC ND-6100A which support burning of 2.4x DVD+R DL. The ND-6100A also supports an impressive 8x write speed for single layer DVD+R which probably will be the max speed for slim type DVD burners.

NEC ND-6100A specifications
Read speed Write speed
DVD+R DL 2-5x (CAV) 2.4x (CLV)
DVD+R 3.3-8x (CAV) 3.3-8x (CAV)
DVD+RW 2-5x (CAV) 2.4-4x (ZCLV)
CD-R 10-24x (CAV) 10-24x (CAV)
CD-RW 10-24x (CAV) 8-16x (ZCLV)
DVD-ROM SL 3.3-8x (CAV)
DVD-ROM DL 2-5x (CAV)
DVD-R 3.3-8x (CAV)
DVD-RW 2-5x (CAV)
DVD-Video 2-5x (CAV)
CD-ROM 10-24x (CAV)
CD-DA 8-20x (CAV)
Access time

It will probably take some time before you'll be able to get your Dell notebook delivered with this drive though as not even NEC's half height double layer DVD burners are available yet. NEC will probably release another drive (ND-6500A?) with similar specifications as the ND-6100A but with added support for writing DVD-R/RW later too. More information about the ND-6100A is available here.

LiggyHow about placing bets if we will be able to overclock the 5100A to a 6100A devil

Liggy.... Recent news has shown that modding your older DVD writer to newer speeds/layers might work, but will give you a TON of errors. Even if the disc works, with such a heavy amount of errors the slightest pieco of dust or scratch will make the disc totally unusable because all the error checking has been used up on just making the disc burn. Despite public opinion, only newer models support more speed/layers because of higher quality equipment, companies are not "halding back" just so they can sell a faster/better drive 4 months later.
