Plextor PlexWriter 8/4/32 CD-RW Burner

Pros: Fast, reliable, can read subchannel data and write in RAW mode
Cons: None

This drive is the only Atapi CDRW drive that I recommend for dependability and longevity. The Plextor Plexwriter 8x4x32 is an all purpose CD drive that can handle any task given to it. It's ability to write and copy CD material is unmatched in the...

Pros: Great CDR & CDRW writer!
Cons: The software, Adaptec Easy CD Creator and Adaptec Direct CD!

Not only are you getting a great CDR/CDRW writer, you are getting a fast writing speed with a nice price. Originally the Plextor PlexWriter 8/4/32 sold for over $300 and now it is listed for $185 and can be found brand new for $139. That is a great price...

Pros: Fast speeds, easy installation, good price, nice software selection
Cons: None

After nearly 3 years of promising myself that I would get a CD-R/W drive I finally did. With a special from Buy.com (including $30 off a $150 purchase, free shipping and a killer initial price) I decided to go for the Plextor 8/4/32. I received the...

Pros: Built great, and goes Fast!!!!
Cons: Not alot of great software.

Last month my brand new Plextor Plexwriter came in the mail. At first site I could tell it was built well, Pretty heavy, and put together like a tank. I quickly installed the new drive in place of my old Hi-Val Cd-RW, and it was instantly recognized...

Pros: Reputation for quality and reliability, ease of installation, meets most people's need for speed
Cons: Software bundle only adequate, did not include mounting rails

Just got a CD-RW (CD burner) installed, something I've been waiting for since God created dirt. Lots of choices on makes and models, but I chose the Plextor Plexwriter 4X8X32 internal because of quality, reliability, and recommendations by other experts...

Pros: Good speed, good media compatibility, solid.
Cons: None

It is good to have a cd-wr these days. We live in a world where a lot of information is easily accessible via computers and some of it needs stored for future reference. I am thinking about all those mp3, jpgs, movies, data etc. If you don't want to fill...

Pros: Quick, reliable burns, good bundled software...
Cons: ... though the software was slightly outdated and needed an update

Plextor CD-RW drives are the best. Sure, some people will tell you that Hewlett-Packard makes mean drives, that SCSI drives are the way to go, but Plextor IDE drives are cheap (compared to a SCSI setup) and will almost never ever have a buffer underrun...

Pros: Easy installation, fast burning, reliable
Cons: does not have BURN PROOF technology

With the newer and faster cd-rewritable drives coming into the market today, the Plextor 8/4/32 has now lower prices. Plextor is pretty much has the best cd-rw drives in the market today. Despite not having BURN PROOF Technology, the Plextor 8/4/32 is...

Pros: Speed, buffer, overall quality
Cons: Software slightly outdated

A plextor, but it's not IDE!
I've been a big Plextor fan from the start, every time I've had a chance to use one, it's been a pleasant experience, but being hindered by the fact that they were SCSI-only for the longest time, I had little...

Pros: Extremely Fast, Reliable
Cons: I can't make coasters anymore

Whoa was me, when our Yamaha SCSI Cd-R crapped out on us. It still officially "wrote", but it went from 4x to only 1x. Not acceptable, of course. And due to the fact it only had a 640k buffer, under-runs were frequent to say the least. We...

Pros: Fast burner, reliable, and good price
Cons: Out-dated Software, and drivers

Being my first CD-RW(burner), it did exactly what I expected. I wanted a CD-RW that would write fast, easy to learn, and inexpensive. I did some investigating of CD-RW's and I found that Plextor is one of the best brands, and are very reliable. I...

Pros: Upgradable firmware, great under-run buffer, installation is a snap, bundled software convenient
Cons: Faster models exist, drive may be picky with some software???

I received my Plextor 8/4/32 CD-RW drive for Christmas this year. After over 4 months of fairly heavy use, it's time for a review. In general, I really love my Plextor drive. I have a few complaints (which I'll start with), but most of this review is...

Pros: Copies all PC software I tried with it. Ejects when told to. Comes with EZCD creator 4. Consistent successful burns,even with low quality media.
Cons: Can't do working Playstation copies (without a mod-chip, i mean)

Before you read this epinion

If you don't agree with my morals, don't NR this review. Not agreeing, and not liking the fact that I copy software is no grounds for a NR. I openly admit that I copy software. If this is a problem for...

Pros: Fast and reliable
Cons: A bit more expensive than competition

My 4x HP 8200i series writer was working fine, but I no longer had patience to wait 20+ minutes for burning a CD, which I was doing increasingly more to make audio CDs.

So, knowing that so many people liked Plextor CD-RW drive, I decided to...

Pros: Easy Install, Great Software, Fast!
Cons: none

My first CDRW was an external parallel port HP 2x/2x/4x bought when CDRWS were just becoming popular in the consumer marketplace. While easy to setup, performance was less than stellar (took over an hour to burn one 650mb cdr) and I sold it within a...
