Hi, I recently purchased the NEC 3500 drive and was wondering if you can help me with some questions I have.

My drive does not write at 8X speed on 8X speed media but only at 4X. Is this a problem with the drive or is it the media im using? Im using Bulqpaq 8X speed DVD-R media. I use these discs as they are very cheap and i used to use the 4X discs from bulqpaq on my previous drive and never had any problems with any discs then.

Would I need to buy different discs? any reccomendations? Im from UK

Im also looking for DL discs that will be compatible with my drive. Will the Datasafe discs from this site work?
