NEC ND-2500A DVD±RW Burner

I bought this ND-2500 burner less than a year ago, as my first DVD recorder. I have a TDK 52x cdwr installed on the same computer.
I installed, tested it and I must say I have not had a single toaster yet. It records at a decent speed, all DVD media works fine, from TDK, Memorex to No-Name.
I am installing it in my wife's computer now and buying the new and faster ND-3500.
My experience was totally positive, it records virtually all kinds of DVD media and CD flawlessly.
I highly recommend this burner for a professional or for a beginner or amateur; it will disappoint nobody.
The price is attractive for such an impressive performer.
Do I recommend it? YES!
