OCModShop has posted a review on a PlexWriter 40/12/40A
This is my first time using a Plextor CDRW and I really like it. Before this I had only used Lite-On drives and find this Plextor drive to be of higher quality. Moving up from my 16x I could really see the boost in speed, as I was able to burn a complete CD much faster than before. With all the technology that Plextor packs into this little drive it makes it a great product which can rise above all other CD-RW companies in the race for the fastest and highest quality burn. It took me only a little over 3 minutes to burn a full 80 minute CD ant 40x and only a little over 6 minutes to burn a CD-RW at 12x. I thought I might have some problems burning at 40x with generic CD-Rs, but I tried 3 different brands and all of them worked perfectly fine. The only thing I do not like about this drive is that is a little loud. Because it has to speed up so much and burn so fast it does create a noticeable amount of noise. Also Plextor has come out with a 48x drive, which is a little faster than this one.Read more
