Reviews: Plextor PlexWriter PX-708UF External DVD Writer
Posted by mihai on Friday, October 24 @ 14:55:38 CEST

Plextor "Unfortunately the PX-708UF does not have the polish we have come to expect from Plextor products. We gave the PX-504UF a much better score because it was the first external DVD writer developed by Plextor and overall was a good first attempt. But we expected their updated version the PX-708UF to address some of the issues their predecessor had and this simply was not the case. The PX-708UF is a relatively fast and reliable drive, but it lacks the ability to daisy chain other FireWire devices through it and has a very loud internal fan. Priced at $299.99 we would recommend holding off for Sonys external 8X drive which was just announced while writing this review."

Reviews: Plextor PX-708A DVD±RW/DVD±R
Posted by sensemann on Monday, October 13 @ 13:51:44 CEST

Plextor Although Fall is a pretty dull season, the optical drives market looks brisk. You can see not only clones of NECs and Pioneers drives, but also unique solutions from companies which earlier made a good showing. Some time ago we tested Toshibas drive and today we have a long awaited multiformat DVD recorder from Plextor. The new drive is not an original solution, but its a current leader in the sphere of DVD recorders. This is the first drive able to burn DVD+R media at 8X

Reviews: Plextor PlexWriter PX-708A @ Designtechnica
Posted by mihai on Thursday, October 02 @ 18:08:10 CEST

Plextor Designtechnica got their hands on the PX-708A DVD±R/RW and gave it a run in the labs. We also reviewed the drive a few weeks ago. (click the previous link for the whole review)

"The Plextor PlexWriter PX-708A is currently the fastest DVD+/-RW drive on the market with its 8X DVD+R write performance. We experienced no problems burning content to any of our test media and were able to heavily multi-task while doing so. The included software suite is very robust and complete compared to other DVD writers on the market. It should be a while until we see the next generation of dual format DVD writers hit the market so if you have been waiting to make a DVD writer purchase, now is the time and the PX-708A is what you will want.”

Reviews: In-House Review: Plextor PX-708 DVD±R/RW Drive
Posted by mihai on Tuesday, September 16 @ 17:10:53 CEST

Plextor Today we have the great honor to post the second review of the Plextor PX-708 DVD±R/RW Drive. The PX-708 is the first 8X DVD+R recorder on the market! Just a few days ago, Anandtech did the first exclusive review of the drive. Now, we did our best to finish the review-article as soon as possible, and to try covering all the aspects of the unit. Hoping the review will satisfy your knowledge needs, we can only wish you good reading and enjoy the web site!




"Read results are great, as well as the write and re-write ones. We actually somehow knew what we should expect from CD-R, CD-RW and DVD recording, except 8X DVD+R recording which is absolutely fast. As long as you have compatible media, now it should be a pleasure writing DVDs. True 8X DVD+R media should be soon on shelves. 4X DVD+RW media is also on the way. By then you will have to set to 4X media recommended by Plextor, if you consider burning 8X DVDs."

Reviews: Plextor 708A: First exclusive look at 8X DVD+R
Posted by Adek on Saturday, September 13 @ 22:31:44 CEST

Plextor AnandTech released a nice review of the Plextor 708A.

Here is a short preview:
    Philips spearheaded the DVD+R forum into 8X DVD+R speeds back in July, but today, we get to see the first actual 8X DVD+R drive in action. Who wouldn’t want to burn 4.38GB of data in 8 minutes? Oh, and you can do it on 4X media too.

Plextor Another day has come and its time for a new review at TechConnect. The featuring star of todays review is the Plextor PX-504A DVD+R/RW drive.



"Built around the DVD+R/RW formats, the PX-504A features 4x DVD+R and 2.4x DVD+RW writing speeds. Aside the writing speeds are the specific features from Plextor, like PoweRec, BURN-Proof protection and many others. Besides the DVD recording capabilities, the drive also supports 16x CD-R and 10x CD-RW writing speeds. The 12x DVD and 40x CD reading speeds are more than enough for any DVD or CD media."
