I have the ND-3550A. Nearly all drives, and the NECs are no exception, do not like certain makes of media. Usually this can be fixed with a firmware update. I recommend using a firmware update from rpc1.org, preferably a Liggy's and Dee's because those enable bitsetting and do other nice stuff. The standard advice applies: Always use media that's made in Japan, except for Verbatim, which is also good. NEC's, in particular, don't like some kinds of cheap media like Ritek.

Edit: If you go with the Liggy's and Dee's get the "Liggy's ND3550 Bitsetting Firmware 1.06" at http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/3550/ Don't mess around with the others.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
