Plextor PlexWriter 8/4/32 CD-RW Burner

Pros: Price, Big Buffer Memory
Cons: Adaptec Easy CD creator (crappy software)

Installation & Setup
As with all IDE drives installation was a breeze. All you do is take the top (or sides) off of your computer case, slide the drive in the slot, screw it in, and plug in the three wires. The software setup was also quite...

Pros: Good data burning, overall mostly good
Cons: Rather slow audio burning and cd imaging.

The primary reason for my purchase of the plexwrighter was the fact that it was fast. Unfortunatly, the burner has not quite lived up to expectations. The Plexwriter 8/4/32 was quite easy to install, my normally dificult to modify Gateway giving only a...

Pros: Great price for a reliable burner that burns at a great speed.
Cons: None

I have never heard of the Plextor brand of CD Roms till I bought my computer. The Plextor CDRW 8/4/32 came with my purchase. After a little research and personal experience with the burner, I've found that the Plextor CDRW drive to be the best product...

Pros: The cream of the crop
Cons: Slow CDRW speed, No burnproof

Plextor has been known for some time at making quality CD and CDRW drives for servers with SCSI. Recently Plextor decided to make IDE drives and I think its great. I got this Plextor drive about 1.5 years ago and I love it. Not only does it still...

Pros: Quick Installation, User Friendly
Cons: None

I read reviews on this drive, but did not understand the quality of the drive until I purchased it. I got the Plextor PlexWriter 8/4/32A for only $189. The great price was just the start of my love for this drive.

Installation of this drive...

Pros: Excellent quality and value
Cons: Not as fast as newer drives

Shortly after my Ricoh 7060A (also reviewed here) quit on me, I sent it off for warranty repairs. I learned it would be out of my hands for likely over a month, so I decided to spring for the Plextor PX-W8432Ti. I managed to find it online for a paltry...

Pros: fast, reliable, and low noise
Cons: none

After years of debating whether or not to buy a CD-writer, I was finally convinced by a good friend of mine to get one. He himself owned this writer and has personally never had a problem with it for about 2 years (maybe more). He has never had it fail...

Pros: Fast, easy to use, reliable
Cons: None

Looking for a very cost-effective, fast, reliable CD-RW? Then you have found the right one. This Plextor is the best CD-RW around. Sure, there are others like the Smart and Friendly CD-RW's, but they are extremely expensive and not as reliable. Also,...

Pros: Reliable professional brand, well built, fast, and reliable
Cons: External unit is heavy

I have an external version of this drive and it is heavy. For me, heavy equals very high quality parts, something I miss in my audio equipment today.

The software is somewhat intuitive to set-up and use, but the manual is necessary to walk...

Pros: Fast! Cheap! Perfect!
Cons: Free CD media was trashy, but who cares!

I picked up this drive a couple weeks ago. Cost me $169 - which was well spent! I've used other CDRs before, but this drive blows them away completely! Wow! I've never had such easy, trouble-free CD creation! Not only does this drive burn right...

Pros: speed
Cons: none

I shopped around for months before deciding to buy this model of cdrw drive, and I am more than pleased with my choice! Whether I am backing up important files on my pc or making a music cd for fun, this Plextor has never failed me. It is oh so speedy...

Pros: Easy to install and use
Cons: None so far

I bought my PlexWriter 8/4/32 after reviewing all the opinion on this site, not without some misgivings. But the writer has worked just as well the other epinion commentators said it would. It installed easily out of the box and was recognized...

Pros: Speed, Price, Software
Cons: NONE

First of all, sorry about the cheesy title, I couldn't really think of anything. But that's beside the fact. Plextor Plexwriter 8x4x32x is the best cd-rewriter I have ever come across.
One word can describe it all. FAST. You'll be recording CDs in...

Pros: Affordable, Easy to install
Cons: Bundled Software not too great

This Plextor drive is a high quality product that should be easy for most intermediate level computer users to install and use. Before I installed this drive, I had never installed any piece of hardware before. Using the manual, it took me a little...

Pros: fast, reliable
Cons: nothing big

When I was looking for a CDRW drive, all reviews seemed to point to Plextor, so I bought one. I must say, this is one impressive drive. It says 8X writing, and it writes at 8X. Performance is great, and it works with all types of CDR discs. I even got it...
