Just got a Dell 8400. Device manager says the DVD writer is a NEC 3530...., and thats what it says on the drive.....first time I'd seen that model number.

Wow! I will check mine Sat when I get home. It was delivered on Fri and should be the same as yours. The 3530 should be the newer NEC!
Are you guys flashing these with 3500 etc FW?
