| In the uk the most reasonable priced quality media DVD-R media appears to be CMC MAG AE1. I now use the Datawrite titanium dvd-rs This media burns at 12 speed in a Pionner 108 12 speed in Benq 1620 and 12 speed using hacked NEC firmware. Will hacked NEC firmware give quality burns comparable to the Pionner 108 / BENQ 1620? I want to purchase a NEC drive to take advantage of it fast reading speed but also need to to perform at 12 speed with CMC MAG AE1 media. I don't need bitsetting as using DVD-R. Do I get the 3500 or 3520? What firmware is best for CMC MAG AE1 with each drive at 12 speed. |

| I purchased 25 of those discs a while ago (only because they was £5 for 25) and have to say the quality of them on this 3520 at 12x is very impressive, i would not buy any more though because i just do not like the dark grey colour. 3250A with 1.U5 firmware (at the time). |

| I use the Datawrite Yellow CMC AE1 with my 3520 and 1.U6. Very smooth, no problems. They are only 9.95€ for 25 here. Beware of older beta firmwares, i had problems with 1.05. The worst part of the burns if there is any is in the beginning of the disk where the speed is lowest  . PI rate fluctates till then to the end, even at 12x  |

| I can see from other posts that 1.U6 is beta 6 hacked firmware. |

| I just tested in Nero CD Speed and it has a near smooth curve right up to 16x. Not s single dropoff near the end whatsoever! Impressed. Using 2.F9 on 25x0 as was recommended.
