Plextor DVD Burner
The Plextor PX708 multi-format burners are the first to ship with 8x burn speeds, which means you can burn full 4.7GB DVD in about 8 minutes. Plextor has pushed the envelope in burning speed beyond 8x burning. One of the unfortunate factors of DVD burning is that the fastest media is more expensive and lags the new burners by several months. So, although the Plextor drive supports 8x burn speeds, 8x rated blank media is yet several months away. Plextor has solved this problem. Their PoweRec technology analyzes your blank +R media and identifies the fastest possible speed it can safely burn. Pop in a high quality 4x DVD+R disk and you may achieve good 6x, 7x or even 8x burning. The key to this newer technology is the simple fact that not all blank DVDs are created equal. The better quality media really spec out well than the rating on the label. But beware the inverse is also fact. Unfortunately there is a lot of cheap media around that will not even support the 4x rating on label again and again. The Plextor 708 series handles this by slowing down the burn speed, somewhat than just popping out coasters. It may sound difficult, but the Plextor burner does it all automatically.
The Plextor PX-708A delivers the fastest performance in dual formats: 8X DVD+R write, 4X DVD-R write, 4X DVD+RW rewrite, 2X DVD-RW rewrite, and 12X DVD-ROM read. In addition to rewriting, recording, and reading DVD discs in dual formats, the PX-708A supports 40X CD-R write, 24X CD-RW rewrite and 40X CD-ROM read speeds. Create a 4.7 GB disc on DVD media in about 8 minutes.
