Plextor PlexWriter 40/12/40A, the Ultimate CD Rewriter.

Pros 40x writing, Software Bundle, Plextor Reliability and Quality.
Cons Best results from high performance processors and rather expensive.
Recommended it? Yes

With many CD Rewriters on the market today that write at least 24x on CD-R media, many might want to go faster by replacing their aging and dated CD Rewriter by going beyond 24x writing alone. So the 32x burners came along at the end of 2001 and they were in fact great products, especially with... Read full review »

Pros Very fast. Easy set-up. Great quality CD creation!
Cons Heats up quickly. A few minor heat & media compatibility problems.
Recommended it? Yes

This burner has worked very well for me in backing up my software titles, writing data CDs, and making audio CDs. Of course it has some bad points when you push it to its limits like I did.

The bad

I have had a few issues with this drive. The first was with CD-R compatibility. I... Read full review »

Pros At the time one of the few drives that offered a black bezel.
Cons Only works for 10 months than you have to replace it.
Recommended it? No


Bought this drive in May 2002 for a system I built. First drive went bad in March 2003. Was replaced free with a refurbished drive with original manufacture date of August 2002. That drive went bad in February 2004. So I have had two of these drives go bad within 2 years time, and I had hardly... Read full review »

Pros VariRec, Powerburn, burn quality and at a purchase price of $24.95 (New-OEM).
Cons CD tray is slow, loose & weak & not sturdy comparing to other drives.
Recommended it? Yes

I have used quite a few different name brand burners in the past and I must confess that this is the best by far, especially with the affordability of the drives being produced without sacrificing its quality. The drive operates pretty smooth and quiet and with little or no vibration even at high... Read full review »

Pros Large Buffer, Good For Older Systems, Fast
Cons Expensive, So-So Software
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the plextor plexwriter 40x only after buying a cen dyne model of the same speed. The plextor tends to run higher in cost than most other burners but the cash you pay upfront is worth it if you run a lower end system. I run a pentium III 500 with 300 something ram (128 x 3...my math is bad... Read full review »

Pros Great write speed, Acurate (haven't made any coasters as yet)
Cons Higher priced.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this CD burner for my computer aprox. 3 months ago. I burn lots of music, Movies (DIVX, XVID, VCD, SVCD) and PS2 backup games.

I mainly bought this burner because of it's ability to be able to burn bootable ps2 backup games and this unit does it superbly.

The high max... Read full review »
