It's a very good drive and people should note that there are firmware hacks out there to allow Dual-Layer burning on this drive.

The jive on the street is that the NEC 2510 is just a firmware upgraded 2500A. NEC states that laser adjustments are required for Dual-Layer to work, but many many people have had no trouble burning DL DVD+R DL.

Another thing to keep in mind if getting a DVD burner/ DL burner. DL DVD+R is just that DL DVD+R. The people who created the DVD-R spec are going to becoming out with their own DL standard soon. So we'll have more fun! :D
