I also have a newer (1 year as opposed to 2 year old) NEC drive in my main
Linux server. This one's an ND-4550A.

Writing to the same batch of DL disks also fails on this, but only gets about
10% of the way through.

Has anyone had success writing DL disks with an NEC drive? Are they
particularly prone to problems with dirty mechanisms? I have a Liteon writer
in another box - I'll try that as well and see if I have success. If not, the
media must be suspect, but interesting that it consistently fails at two
different points on two different NEC drives.
