Pros: Easy installation. Fast and efficient. Cons: None.
Plextor is a "HOT" name in the computer CD burn world. While at the Expo show on Saturday, there was just so many representatives giving their talk. I of course got mine there. What a price $199!! I couldn't beat it. This is my first burner. I...
Pros: Very dependable at a great price! Cons: None
Yesterday I wrote a review on “The Best SCSI CD-Writer” and today I will tell you about The Best IDE CD-Writer. It happens that Plextor makes both the SCSI and IDE CD writers. Today I will tell you about the Plexwriter 12/10/32.
Pros: Fast, Great quality, no more coasters! Cons: None
The PlexWriter 12/10/32A, made by Plextor, is one of the hottest CD burners out there right now. All of a sudden, I can burn an entire CD’s worth of data or music in just about 6 1/2 minutes. The PlexWriter 12/10/32A is just the latest and greatest...
Pros: Fastest IDE drive today, Excellent software, speed and functionality Cons: Expensive, comes with Adaptec EZCD. Blech.
Note: after too many emails, I've got to say - the deal I got on the drive is over. It was at buy.com, but no more, so no, I do not know where you could get this drive for $209 shipped! Wish I did - shop around, you too might get lucky! ...
Pros: Easy to install, FAST recording Cons: None that I can tell
I had an old HP 8100i CD-burner when I got my new computer, and I was ready to start churning out CDs from mixes I made from various sources. I had the software that came with it and found some others that worked well. I sat down and started recording...
Pros: Fast, Burn proof technology, high quality Cons: none
The CD-RW industry has been changing a lot lately. Even just a year ago, I would have recommended that power users look at SCSI CD-RWs instead of their IDE counterparts. The difference in price was worth it even if you had to buy a SCSI card simply...
Pros: FAST, RELIABLE, Good Software, and Detailed Instructions Cons: Slower than Ricoh, TOO NEW not a lot of software support.
UPDATE 9/29/2000
This BURN-Proof is much more impressive than I thought. My computer crashed while burning a CD, and I thought that CD was done with. Just to play around, I used the same CD to finish the recording, and it actually worked!! This...
Pros: Great performance, excellent software bundle, top notch driver support Cons: Phone support needs serious improvement, warranty is only one year
This drive is so new that the manufacture date says "June 2000" and my invoice date said "June 27, 2000. It features a 12X record speed, previously available only on SCSI burners, and an industry first 10X rewrite speed, a full 2.5x the...
Pros: Burns quick, rewrites quick, extra reliability. Cons: None so far.
This is the sweetest burner out on the market right now. This puppy can burn a CD from your hard drive in a little over 7 minutes. 7 minutes!! That's insane! We'd been mired around in a land of 2 and 4 speed for a while, but Plextor outdoes even...
Pros: Burn proof! Burn Proof! Cons: None that I can see
Running out of hard drive space....must burn cd!
Like above said I was running out of precious hard drive space and the network I am on is flaky at best. I did not want to take the time to copy everything over to my roommate's computer and...
Speed, reliability, and burn proof baby! Those are the things that spell out this drive.
I picked the drive up at a local computer fair for $255, not bad considering what else I have seen it for. I was really considering the SCSI but alais I...
Pros: No more ruined CD's! Fast too! Cons: Nothing!
I started my search for CDRW drives a few months ago, I had settled upon a different drive, then i came across the Plextor Plexwriter 12/10/32. I saw the specs on this drive and knew i had to have it, and the price was right.
Pros: Fast, tough, BURN-PROOF really works, great software. Cons: Needs a fast PC with Windows Me
I was looking for a CD burner for a long time (actually, until I got enough money) until I stumbled on a PC Magazine rewiew of the plextor Plexwriter 12/10/32A. I ordered it from buy.com (great prices!) and within a week it was in my home.
...
Pros: Easy to install, works like a dream Cons: None!
I'd been talking about buying a CD Writer for literally years. The idea sounded cool but I'd heard lots of bad stories about installation and configuration problems. Finally Christmas was coming and I decided I deserved one.
Pros: Ultra fast; no wasted CDs; READS CRACKED DISCS! Cons: None, price may not appeal to all.
So the Plextor 12/10/32. Let me say that this is the first and only writer I have had, and is probably the last. This isn't only heavily built, but has such a performance, the competition are only just catching up! So lets go through the writer:
...
Pros: The best drive on the market, a bargain with or without coupons/free shipping. Cons: Zero.
This item is so good, that I'm reviewing it twice. (The first time I submitted it, it timed out, and when I hit back page, my review was gone.) I think that says a lot about how much I like it.
I bought this drive a couple of months before I...
Pros: Fast, accurate, burn-proof technology! Cons: Still not as cheap as it could be.
Introduction
Just a few months ago, I settled down and started using a Plextor 8x4x32, which I found quite fast and enjoyable to use, and gave a satisfactory opinion of. However, due to circumstances beyond my control, I ended up purchasing...
Pros: Fast and reliable. Cons: Tray not designed to hold disk vertically
My older 6x Smart and Friendly CD Burner was about used up and the company had entered Chapter 11. It was time to look for something new. But, I have a big problem; my system is a mini-tower placed horizontally in a roll top computer desk. That means...
This is the second CD-RW I have owned and I chose this one quite simply because of the speed. I've owned a 2x for about 4 1/2 years now and have accumulated all of the software over the years that I need so that was not an issue for me. Quite simply I...
Pros: No underburn, digital reproduction, easy to install Cons: NONE
Burn Proof Tecnology
PlexWriter 12/10/32A comes with a built-in Anti Under-Burn, eliminating buffer underrun errors. Buffer underruns occur when the source drive is not able to provide the data fast enough for the CD writer to record at...
Pros: fast! easy! no coasters can theoretically be made Cons: can't thing of any!
Want to burn CDs fast? The PlexWriter 12/10/32 will blow you away. This nifty device is true to it's word of being able to burn CDs in under six minutes. And it has no problem doing so.
Probably at the pinnacle of it's feature list is the...
Pros: Ease of installation, quality of product and ease of use. Cons: Reaching the tech support people
This opinion will add to the 24 others already here on the Plextor Plexwriter 12/10/32A. Until buying this product, I had never installed anything in my computer, or even had it apart. (I installed a new "stick" of memory at the same time, a...
Pros: BURN-Proof, 10X CDRW speed, clonecd compatible, reads everything. Cons: You have to pay money for it. You need a free IDE channel
I was looking to upgrade my crappy old Memorex 4x4x20 CDRW drive when I came across this little gem. For $200 I got the then top-of-the line CDRW drive.
Pros: Fast, error proof, doesn't require drivers, burns EVERYTHING Cons: Requires a fairly nice IDE controller...details inside
For the speed, for the capabilities, for the price, for the hassle free installation, for the error proof technology, for the ability to burn anything, this is the best burner I have had the pleasure of using. When anybody asks me about what burner they...
Pros: Successful burns. Easy to install. Compatible with almost all software. Cons: Finicky performance on reads, flat out bad tech support, and warranty repair a joke.
I bought a PlexWriter 12/10/32 after building a massive coaster collecton using a Phillips CDR. I am into Technical documenttation, video production, and photography and need a CDRW that can write a disk fast and get it right the first time - the...
Pros: Supports Burn Proof Feature Cons: not all cheap CDR media work properly
The Plextor 12x/10x/32x is currently the most useful and most productive hardware component on my PC. This drive can burn CDR’s at the speed of 12x, can burn CDRW’s at 10x, and can read CD’s at the speed of 32x. Not only is this drive...
Pros: Easy to use, reliable, very fast Cons: Might be a little pricey
When I first got my Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32 in early September of this year, I was very impressed at its speed and reliability. Three months later, the novelty still hasn't worn off for me. This burner is still as impressive as ever.
...
Pros: High speeds, 100% reliable, CD-TEXT, easy to install Cons: None
I am happy to say I bought this drive almost a week after it was released. With the stock market the way it is, this CD-burner was probably the best investment I've made in quite some time. The technology that puts it squarely on top of its competition...
Whatever you want a CD-Writer for, this Burner is for you. This CD-writer works amazingly well. Just use the included software to quickly and easily copy a whole range of products. This Plextor has become known as one of the best Burners around,...
Pros: Burn-Proof Technology, Reliable, Fast, and the Burner that others compare to. Cons: Doesn't make coasters
I make computers and I have installed and tried brands such as Sony, Hewlett Packard, Teac, Pacific Digital, Samsung, Yamaha, and Panasonic. All of them perform the main purpose of burning well. They do copy programs and make audio cd's, but they also...
Pros: great recorder, no coasters Cons: single multi function LED, small buffer size
As of today (we all know as quickly things change in the PC world) this is the very best EIDE drive to buy if you're looking for a guaranteed solution to "buffer underrun errors". The Plextor drive uses Sanyo's new Burn-Proof technology which...
Pros: BurnProof. Simple to set up and use. Excellent quality. Cons: I didn't buy this one first.
I bought a CDRW drive way back when they first came out. I paid a whopping $550 for a blazing 2x drive. Okay it wasn’t speedy, but it was the best thing going! Now, several years later, that drive has died and I found myself in a whole new market....
Pros: Fast, coaster-proof burner Cons: None I could find
Between work and home, I use plenty of CDR/W burners. The Plextors have always performed the most reliably. But even they could make coasters. Now, with BURNproof, this 12/10/32A is flawless.
I read another review here stating that when using...
Pros: Phenomenal speed, EIDE interface, a new pinnacle in stability Cons: none
The Business and Technology Chairperson were i work needed a new burner, so i recomended this drive. I have the 8x4x32 version (for more info on that one see my review
Pros: Easy installation, no complaints about quality of the data writing Cons: Loud excessive noise, poor technical support
The Plextor brand of CD-RWs came recommended to me from friends who own the brand. Based on their recommendation, I went with Plextor's latest 12/10/32 CD-RW. I didn't know much about the difference between CD-RWs at the time when I bought them. Most...
Pros: Ease of installation, instructions and the BUrn-Proof software. Plus the rewrite speed. Cons: Price may be steep for some upgraders, but well worth it.
I purchased the Plextor 12/10/32 from Buy.com for $250 the first week of September with free shipping included. The offer was through another service I subscribe to which offered the free shipping.
I found the unit to be packed extremely well...
Pros: It lives up to what it claims. FAST, Reliable. Cons: A bit Pricey, Loud
I've had my Plex Writer for about 3 months now. I have burned everything I can find around the house to burn. Copys CD-ROMS, Audio CD's, Makes MP3 disks, and everything else you would expect from a Cd burner. It is lightning fast, and with the...
Pros: Fast, relieable, burnproof is sweet Cons: Faster burners out there.
I'm a pc tech, so I deal with computers all day. I also have 3 burners at home (8x Yamaha, 8x HP, and this one). And of the 3, and being one of my favorite burner is the Plextor 12x. Sure there are faster burners out there on the market curently (like...
Pros: Easy to install, great software, easy to burn cd's Cons: Hard to read tracks at times
After spending countless hours reading reviews and taking suggestions from friends I decided to buy this CD burner. This was going to be my first time using a CD burner and I wanted to get a reliable burner. Plextor has a great reputation. After doing...
Pros: Blazing speed, no underburn errors as with other drives, simple to use Cons: CD-RW media cannot be played in car or home stereos
At first I was under the impression that a CD-RW drive would allow me to make CDs to play while I'm on the road. So I set out to find a high-quality drive and convinced my brother to split the cost with me. I found the PlexWriter 12/10/32 and couldn't...
Pros: Best writer out there, supported with a lot of cd writing software Cons: Surprising...no CONS!!!
Ok here's the smackdown on this. Plextor drives (any speed) are the best CD Recording drives on the market. Ever since I got this drive, I haven't had a problem, I haven't even had one bad coaster. Another good thing about this writer is that a lot of...
Pros: Installation is easy enough for someone with no prior experience.Customer service is wonderful Cons: Design of PlextorManager 2000 is ugly and not very descriptive.
I bought my daughter the Plextor 12/10/32 internal burner for Christmas at Buy.com for $210.40. I was a bit nervous about installing the drive on my own, but figured I'd give it a try.
I chose Plextor because of a friend's recommendation. I...
Pros: Amazingly Fast Cons: Comes with adaptec burning program
Well this was my first burner ever, and I decided to get the fastest one on the market. It was the fastest one when i bought it. Now theres 16X write, and I hear that the 20X is on its way. I got it and was happy right away when I saw that I could put...
Pros: Fast, quiet, reliable, its plextor Cons: software may not like win2k to well..
Alot of reviews here so just gonna make some notes on my installation and preformance in windows 2000. The drive itself rocks, its quiet, and I've had no read errors on my cds useing generic buy-by-the-100 cdr's at 12x. The included software on the other...
When i first got my Plexwriter 12/10/32, i was a little bit skeptical with the advertised Burn-proof technology. I've used Philips, Smart&Friendly, even the older Plexwriter 8/4/32A... every one of them at least had experienced buffer underrun. I...
Pros: BURNproof, fast and compatible with all types of CDR Cons: I honestly can't think of any
I recently put together a computer with a Duron 700, 128MB RAM and various other bits and pieces, not least the Plextor BURNproof. I have owned a CDR before but this one was superb.
Usually, with my old writer I had to close everything down...
Plextor's PlexWriter 12/10/32 is one of the better cd read/write components on the market for the money. It's fast, easy to use, and has become one of my favorite computer toys.
It's so easy to use! You simply drag and drop the files that...
Pros: Fast, no buffer under-runs, works great Cons: A little expensive
I've been through several CD-RW drives over the past few years. I've been disappointed in the HP drives in particular (I had two drive fail, both shortly after warranty ran out) so it was time to spend a few more dollars for a Plextor. I'm glad I did!...
Pros: The BEST at everything Cons: absolutely none
Before buying this CD burner, I read all the reviews I could find from PC magazines and many websites. Everyone was in agreement that this burner is top notch. Having bought one myself a few months ago, I can say it is fantastic.
My last burner...
Pros: reliability and BURNPROOF Cons: price is higher than others.
I bought this on the opinion of others and they were dead on. After frustration with a phillips CD-RW (brand new model) and the inability to burn at 8X consistently (had to go to 4X to make it reliable)...i've been able to burn 12X at least 150 CD's with...
When we were looking to replace the burners in the systems at work, I was asked which type we should get. It was without hesitation that I recommended Plextor. For years past, Plextor has been the king of SCSI CD-ROMs and CR-Writers. I assumed that...
Pros: Speed, almost can't fail to write. Cons: Hmmm... can't think of any.
I bought this machine because the HP8210e USB model would not work with my Dell Dimension XPS450. Very frustrating. The Plextor is simply a divine machine. The only thing you have to watch is that you don't put an out of balance CD in it because it...
Pros: Nice drive/technical support Cons: Adaptec software
First off, I said AMONG hte bet bescause it is not the best. Performance wise it is the best, but its included software keeps me back from giving it the title: BEST.
OK, my system specs are: Athlon 800MHz, Abit Ka7-100 motherboard, 192mb...
Pros: Very well built, excellent reliability. Cons: Software bundle could be better.
This Plextor is my sixth CDRW drive, and one of the best. I've been buying Plextor drives for almost ten years now, and they are rock solid, very well built, and extremely QUIET - something that few people or reviewers pay attention to, but which can...
Pros: Burn Proof Technology makes very reliable disks Cons: More expensive than other drives with same speeds but worth it
I put off buying a CD Burner because I was saving up for an expensive good SCSI drive. I wanted a SCSI drive because of the speed and reliability. After hearing horror stories from many friends who had IDE drives that made more coasters than usable...
Pros: Fastest burner available, good software, Burn-Proof Technology Cons: high price
I purchased this cd burner because it is the best out there right now. It is fast and very reliable. We're talking about burning a full cd in about 7 minutes. Now that is fast and this drive will not burn many coasters if any.
Pros: The name. Cons: SLOW CDRom Performance. Weak support. NO AUDIO CABLE included in even retail packaging.
Okay first of all I'm not a Plextor desciple.
Burn-Proof doesn't impress me. It adds a 40 micrometer gap each time. Compare that to Ricoh's JustLink's 2 micrometer gap. If you're really that worried about being able to play Quake 3 while...
Pros: Easy installation and great software makes for fast burning Cons: none yet
New to the cd burning scene,I did my homework on this one.Installation was easy just four screws in an empty drive slot and connect the plug and load the software and your off to cd burning heaven.I set the Plextor as the master and designated my...
Pros: The First Error FREE cd writer that you can buy Cons: NONE
Ok, Just wondering how those people end up with a bad experience with this cd burner. Let me start by saying that this is my fifth cd writer and I have owned 4 HP cd-writers which they are all ok, from 2x speeds through 8x speed but you just CANNOT do...
Pros: Burn Proof, Good Burns Cons: Slow at writing CD's, Price,
Hi I own three CDRW's One of these is a Plextor 12/10/32A one of the newest from plextor. I heard great things about Plextor and wanted to see for myself. First don't get me wrong Plextor is a great CDRW and will burn cd's without makeing coaster's out...
Pros: it's solid as a rock Cons: it could come with free movie tickets (aka no problems)
This drive Rocks, it's a spendy drive. But so was the 16-bit Nintendo when it came out and i bought it then for 150 and it was worth every penny. This is the same 250 aint bad when you can burn a cd in 7 min. With out ever making a coaster. This drive is...
Pros: Burn proof, bragging rights, fast Cons: Maybe price?
I didn't buy this because of the 12x speed, although it's nice. I bought this cd burner because of the speed of the cd-r. I would have very much liked a 8x8x32, but no one seems to make them. The neat part is the burn proof stuff, you can do other things...
This is a definite must buy for anyone who has tried the older technology. But do fasten your seat belt for the speed you will experience. Everything about this drive works fast and well.
Just think, a simple hardware install that is just...
Pros: The BURN Proof Tech. Cons: I don't know yet.
I read an article on BURN Proof Tech. and I pondered. Is the reason for wasting seven or eight CD’s is because I don't have this technology? Yes it is because after I purchased the Plextor I haven't wasted a good CD since. To me this was wonderful...
This burner is the best, even though there are faster out there, this is one that started it all, it was the fastest burner for a long time. Dont know what else to say besides that i am very happy with this product. Burn-proof is very helpful, my last 4...
Pros: speedy, easy install, and a dream to work with. Cons: none that I have come across
I am thoroghly impress with the Plextor 12-10-32 CDRW drive.I was suffering with teh 2x drive that came with my computer for some time. I currently have a stack of over 50 coasters due to copying errors on my old philips 2x cdrw. ( at least when i have...
I've gone through more than one CD writer in my time, the last one being a Creative Labs that left a sour taste in my mouth, so I decided to investigate the market before my next purchase. I came across Plextor, and it seemed a little high at the time,...
Pros: Fast install, works great, burns in 6 minutes, Mac IDE compatible, bootable. Cons: No included Mac software. Bezel editing is required.
I went with this over the Yamaha because it was reviewed as quieter. I don’t know if it is, as I don’t have both, but it‘s certainly quieter then my OEM Mitsui CDR was. It was an easy 2 minute install on ATA buss 1 as slave to boot 30G HD in my 450M...
Pros: Burn Proof technology, Plextor's additional software, highly compatible with most CDRs Cons: It comes with Adaptec EZ cd creator, I prefer Nero 5.0
Plextor has the reputation of making the best and most reliable CD writer out there, and deserving so. From the beginning of installation to final touches with Adaptec software that came out along with it. It was a breeze. The instructions were clear...
