PlexWriter 12/10/32A


The Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32A
By James "Fothb" Bunch

Slackernews.com, September 3, 2000

"I'm thoroughly impressed and satisfied with all aspects of the product. I did not encounter any difficulties in getting the drive up and running under Windows and Linux, and the included software bundle worked perfectly."


Plextor's PlexWriter is CD-RW Perfection
By James E. Powell

Winmag.com, August 17, 2000

"The PlexWriter 12/10/32A is the fastest drive, with the most consistent in performance, that I've ever worked with. Its rich set of utilities, sturdy construction, and attractive price make it a cinch to join the WinList as the best CD-RW drive to date."


The Plextor 12-10-32 IDE CD-RW
By William Yaple

Target PC, August 10, 2000

"I couldn't force the 1210 to make a coaster. Once again, Plextor has produced a top notch product at a reasonable price."


Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32A
By Sander Sassen

HardwareCentral, July 26, 2000

"As expected for any product from Plextor, the PlexWriter 12/10/32A performed admirably. We tried very hard to upset the BURN-Proof technology and produce some unrecoverable coasters, but lost not a single disk to writing errors by the PlexWriter."


Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32A
By S. Jae Yang

PC Magazine, July 5, 2000

"In our testing, the Plextor drive successfully burned a CD at 12X while our i-Bench 1.5 tests were running in the background. i-Bench is a Web-based test program that heavily taxes the CPU and hard drive. If a CD can be successfully burned while such a program is running, casually browsing the Web should not even cause the Plextor drive to blink."


Plextor Rewrites the Rules
By Jon L. Jacobi

PC World.com, June 19, 2000

"No matter how you cut it, the PlexWriter 12/10/32A is currently the drive for power users. Though it's a bit pricey for the average person, nothing on the immediate horizon is likely to be significantly faster. That makes this drive a solid investment, especially for those who want the fastest possible audio extraction."


First Looks: Tweaking the Engine
By Scot Hacker,
PC Magazine, March 28, 2000

"We were able to burn audio CDs at 8X consistently with an external SCSI Plextor drive without erring and turning CD-Rs into coasters".

PlexWriter 12/4/32S


12X CD-R Done Write
by Jon L. Jacobi
, PC World.com, March 23, 2000

"Plextor might not have been first out the gate with a 12X/4X/32X CD-Rewritable drive, but the reliable performance of its PlexWriter 12/4/32 SCSI makes the drive well worth waiting for. We burned nary a bad disc with the new drive--something we can't say about the only other 12X model we've reviewed so far, Smart and Friendly's CD Rocket Mach 12. If you need a CD-RW drive that can deliver the fastest CD-Recordable writing speed currently possible, look no further: The PlexWriter 12/4/32 SCSI will deliver".

Plextor PlexWriter 8/4/32
by Alfred Poor

PC Magazine, March 1, 2000

"The Plextor PlexWriter 8/4/32 is named for its speeds: 8X writes, 4X rewrites, and up to 32X CD-ROM reads. The $310 drive has a few features that separate it from competing products with the same performance specifications, which may give it an edge – depending on your needs. If your primary concern is burning CDs in a minimum amount of time at a reasonable cost, then this may be the drive for you".


PlexWriter 8/4/32 Speeds Up CD Creation
by Jeff Sengstack

PC World, January 2000

"Making your own music, data, or back-up CDs just got faster and easier. Plextor's PlexWriter 8/4/32 is not only the first CD-Rewritable drive to offer 8X write speed to CD-Recordable discs and 4X write and rewrite speeds to CD-RW discs, but the first with a maximum CD-ROM read speed of 32X . It's also the first IDE CD-RW drive available from a manufacturer best known for its high-end SCSI drives".
