Pros: fast, reliable, inexpensive, quality Cons: too bad it's not 12X write speed
Plextor Plexwriter 8/4/32
I currently own a Plextor and have tried a Yamaha and HP cd recorders. I would have to say that the Plextor Plexwriter is one of the best cd recorders out there. It has a large amount of buffer memory to ensure...
Pros: Affordable, quick, easy to use, reliable - no "coasters" Cons: Software crashed (2) - however may be from desktop issues
Aside from reading all the good and facinating quips and details about this burner, I want to include some negative feedback in order for those out there to see the full round circle of the item.
Pros: Phenomenal Speed and Stability from an EIDE drive, great price! Cons: Haven't found any yet
I asked for a cdr for Christmas this year. My mom doesn't know what a hard drive is, so she told me to go buy one myself and she'll pay for it and wrap it (big surprise). So i cruised some sites to look for the best cdr i could get. I thought a...
Pros: Reliability, firmware upgrades, 4MB buffer, excellent compatibility. Cons: Speed: There are faster drives out there.
Plextor is a maker of high quality CD solutions. Their products range from low-end IDE burners to high-end SCSI CD towers. IDE drives were not always in Plextor's domain, but since it's such a lucrative market I suppose they want a slice of that pie too....
Pros: 8x burns, Packet CD 3.0 compatible, writes to any media Cons: none, works best in an all scsi set up with a Plextor CD Rom
The Plextor 8x20
This unit is exactly like the Plextor 8x4x32 except that ir writes at 8x and reads at 20x. By far it is the best CD-R on the market ( the Imation 8x is a Plextor unit ). Though availible in IDE ( why you want to go that...
Pros: Tech support is great, super reliable Cons: VERY EXPENSIVE
Plextor makes quality drives , I have two of them, an older plex-writer 4/12 and a new plex-writer 8/4/32. the only problem I ever had was with the old 4 speed, the loading mechanism stopped accepting the CD caddy. This is not the worst thing that...
Pros: Excellent, quality drive, low price, supports DAO, 4MB Buffer. Cons: No BURN Proof, only 4X rewrite.
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....
Pros: It's fast, reliable, and has good software bundled with it. Cons: IDE interface, though easier, and pretty much standard, makes it not suitable for professional use
I purchased this CD-RW drive a few months ago, and has performed nearly flawlessly ever since.
Price:
I paid $210 + shipping, which is a very reasonable price for an 8/4/32 CD-RW drive, especially a reliable one with Adaptec EZ-CD Creator...
Pros: Very reliable, collect and return warranty and it's easy to install Cons: Takes a while to read a cd and it ejects slow
My Plextor 8/4/32A is my fifht and sixth (the fifth was a DOA) burner, before this I had two Philips 3610’s and two HP 8250i’s. I really wasn’t satisfied with my Philips’and HP burners (so why did you bought two of them I see you thinking. They had both...
Pros: Speed, Speed, Speed, and Reliability, NO COASTERS! Cons: Maximum read speed is not that great
JUST got this drive from buy.com about a week ago. Its the fastest thing I've ever seen. The Plextor 8/4/32 (8X Write, 4X Rewrite, 32X Read) is an IDE drive and you will need an EIDE interface for this drive to work. This baby can burn 650MB of data onto...
Pros: Nothing better, or even close Cons: Quality costs extra
The PlexWriter 4/12 has been completely solid and reliable, as I've come to expect from Plextor. No other component in my computer is so far ahead of their competition as Plextor is from theirs. Even quality manufacturers such as HP, NEC, Sony, and...
this is my review of the 12x/10x/32A. there isnt a category for this burner yet.
Installation
Since this is my first CD-RW drive I cannot compare its ease of installation to other drives but I had absolutely no problems installing it. I...
Pros: good price, quality drive, many features Cons: ide and not scsi
Plextor's latest addition to its family of quality CDRW drives is the PlexWriter 8/4/32. This is also their first IDE drive. Being an IDE drive, it is priced significantly lower than some of their previous SCSI drives. It writes at a nice 8x, rewrites at...
Pros: Fast write speeds, Excellent bundled software Cons: Sub-par maximum read speed, Terrible digital audio extraction speeds
The name of Plextor has long been synonymous with high quality CD-ROM technology, and has been thought of as the "Mercedes Benz" of it's industry. This last year we have seen a huge surge in the market for affordable, fast, CDR-W drives that...
Pros: Fast, cheap, Plextor brand name, cheap and easy IDE interface, never spits out a lemon Cons: Software is a bit lacking
After having owned three different CDRW drives, this is by far the best I have owned. It was cheaper than the previous two I have owned and has made about three bad burns out of nearly three hundred burns. It seems to burn every kind of CDR and CDRW...
