![TDK AID+880N DVD recorder review @ [hardwarezoom.com]](http://www.cdfreaks.com/contentimages/MDS/cdfreaks.jpg)
Emilex used our news
submit to tell us that a few days ago HardwareZoom has
posted a review of the TDK AID+880N dual
format DVD recorder. The TDK drive is based on NEC's ND-2500A drive which
we
reviewed a while back. Since the TDK is the same drive
as the NEC it has the same specifications: 8x DVD±R, 4x DVD±RW, 32x CD-R and 16x
CD-RW recording. Here's part of HardwareZoom's conclusion:
|
 The TDK AID+880N is a serious performer when comes to DVD
recording. 4X DVD-R blanks are pretty affordable today (less than S$
3/disc for branded ones in jewel cases). By allowing 4X DVD-R to be
written at 8X, the 880N brings instant 8X DVD recording availability to
the mass market without having wait for (possibly expensive) supporting
media.
Why write at 4X when you can write at 8X using the same
media? All of a sudden, the 880N adds new meaning to our 4X DVD-R blanks.
What used to take 15 minutes can now be accomplished in less than 10
minutes, with no noticeable decade in recording quality.
Either way, the 880N will make a good upgrade for your
existing 4X (or below) DVD writers and a very competitive contender as
well if you are looking for your first DVD
writer. |
HardwareZoom was very pleased with the TDK AID+880N drive and
gave it a perfect 10 out of 10 score. When we reviewed the NEC ND-2500A drive,
on which the TDK is based, we were also quite pleased with the drive although we
did find some negative points. So, if you're interested in a second opinion
check out our NEC
ND-2500A review. HardwareZoom's complete review can be found here.
