	Editor's Choice Award Ohls-Place.com PX-Premium-U/SW Oct 2003	This is my first experience with a Plextor drive and yes I have heard all of the great reports of how well they work and how once you use one you will never go back to lesser brand. Well in the short time that I have had the pleasure of using this one I confess that I have never had a drive that operated as smoothly, ran as quietly and burned as fast as this one does.
