Plextor PX-708A DVD-Writer

Strengths: 1 yr full warranty and toll free support

Weakness: Bad packaging: product is not secure in box. May get damaged in shipment.

Plextor is a very reliable company. This is my second one purchased from them and both products have performed as advertised. I would buy from Plextor any time.

Additionally. it is amazingly quiet which relates back to its superior construction. The Plextor is definitely worth the few extra bucks.

Strengths: Blazing speed, no coasters yet

Weakness: Only 2mb buffer, 8mb buffer would have been nicer

I have burned 3 DVD+Rs, re-written and formatted a DVD+RW many times, and about 20-25 CD-Rs and this thing has not spit out a single coaster. The speed is blazingly fast! I use Nero software, and can convert MP3s to audio and burn to a CD audio disc in less then 3 minutes. DVD burning takes about 10 minutes (but I am using a slower DVD+RW disc) but it has been accurate thus far. Plus the drive is...
