25. Conclusion
When we received our ND-4550A burner from NEC, it had already been released onto the market a couple of months. We therefore decided to wait a little longer for the release of the new firmware for the burner, version 1.07. We are now ready to test the very popular NEC ND-4550A burner.

Revolution education driver download for windows 10. - Retail Package
Previous burners that we have received from NEC came in the bulk package. This time round, we received a retail version that includes: Sigma micro input devices driver device.
- the white blazed NEC ND-4550A internal tray load mechanism burner
- an E-IDE (ATAPI) cable
- an Audio cable
- mounting screws
- a CD-ROM that includes documentation for the drive as well as a bundled version of Nero Express 6, Nero Vision Express 3, Nero Showtime 2, and a wide collection of Nero Utilities
These days, most of the retail packages that we receive do not include any blank media.. and.. NEC is not an exception here. :p
- The Drive
The front panel is no different to any other recent NEC drive such as the ND-4551A, with a typical NEC design. On the rear panel you will find the analogue and digital audio outputs (SPDIF), the IDE master/slave/cs selector pins, the IDE connector and the power input.

Nec Scsi & Raid Devices Driver Updater
We do not recommend removing the drive's cover, since this will void the manufacturer's warranty. But you can take a look inside the drive with the pictures below. Click on the image for a larger, more detailed photograph.
The chipset is NEC's 'D6364', the same one that is used in the previous ND 3540 model as well as the latest ND-4551A burner. The specific chipset will also be found in Pioneer's latest burners, the DVR-110 and DVR-110D.
- Installation
The drive came installed with firmware version 1.06. We upgraded it to version 1.07. The drive was identified as the 'NEC DVD_RW ND-4550A' under WinXP. Below is a screenshot of Nero Burning Rom's specs for the drive.
In order to compare the performance of the ND-4550A, we provide the results of two other latest release burners, the BenQ DW-1655 and Plextor PX-755A.
