nec nd-5100a

will the ritek media work on my nec nd-5100a? all i tried so far was the memorex which i bought at my local store. where can i buy these ritek online with printable surface in the usa for a good price? all the site i've seen was in the uk.

5100A? Is this the + format only drive they released earlier? If so then Ritek will work fine. Memorex DVD+R (at least traditionally) has carried the Ricoh dye which is exactly what you will find on Ritek DVD+R discs. If you got the model wrong and are talking about a drive that supports -R, then Ritek DVD-R is MUCH better. Memorex generally uses the CMC Mag dye and it generally not as compatible as the Ritek DVD-R discs. The only thing I will tell you is if you in fact have the new dual format 2500A then steer clear of Riteks as they are having more than thier fair share of problems on that drive.

it is the +r format only and is for a laptop. thanks for the info. what about the verbatim? i will go and buy me some ritek. i found a site called meritline.com that sell these ritek. is that a good place to buy from?

Lots of people here buy from meritline with no trouble but I prefer www.newegg.com (http://www.newegg.com) since they seem to be better at processing orders and thier customer service reputation is outstanding. Newegg might be just a little more expensive though. Verbatim is good media too but you won't find it at the price of Ritek. ;)

My friend has just bought a Laptop with a 5100A fitted, Firmware version 1.12.

He has used 4 X Riteks, without any probs ... also he has used Maxell 2.4 X RW's.
