| EternityX's Full Review: Plextor PlexWriter 8/4/32 CD-RW Burner |
Personal Say..
It's been 3 months since i paid $280CND for my Plextor 8/4/32A(IDE), and i have no regrets. Although the price of the drive has dropped dramatically, i truly believe it's worth every single penny i paid for this little baby. So far i have not had any problems burning CDs at the rated 8X write. The reason i chose this particular drive is, of course the price, but Plextor's brand of quality played a major role in my purchasing decision.
There's not much more i would ask from this drive, except if it had the new BURN proof technology, that would have been sweet. But the massive 4MB buffer makes up for that. Another minor thing is the ReWrite speed. Although 4X is "good enough", i sure wouldn't mind an 8X ReWrite. :) If you would like to buy a quality drive and save some money, i would definitely recommend you this drive. It comes with everything you need in terms of hardware and software. With the included software (Easy CD Creator, DirectCD, PlextorTools 2000), you can create Music CDs straight from MP3s, back up your valuable data, as well as making a music/data cd(mix-mode). With the DirectCD software, you can even use your CDRW like a removable hard drive! now that's convenience. :)
