Plextor Drives Suck

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: Avoid Plextor drives, they are crap
Review: I am a professional audio and video editor- I use Sony DVD architect and Song Vegas 6, Steinberg Cubase, Adobe Audition, etc etc.

I have two DVD/CD 7 drive towers, and an additional 3 drives in my P4 3.2Ghz PC.

Overall, a nice DVD burner

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2006
The Bottom Line: One of the best and most customizable DVD burners on the market, fast DVD ripper and quality burns. Recommended.
Review: I bought this drive about 10 months ago from a store on eBay, paid only $80 + shipping for it, so I don't have the same complaints others have about price, although this unit was still higher priced than most (if not all) of the competition.
