Plextor PlexWriter 8/4/32 CD-RW Burner

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...

Pros: Easy to install and use
Cons: None!

Believe me, I wanted to make the right choice when it came to buying a CD burner. I spent hours online, researching at some of the best technology sites. I took many notes, and didn't make a decision too quickly, and in the end, I came out with a great...

Pros: Easy to use, excellent bundled software
Cons: Not the fastest on the market anymore.

After much research and trying other CD writers (Sony & HP) on friend's computers, the conclusion for buying a CD-RW is to get a Plextor! Although the PlexWriter 8/4/32 isn't the fastest drive out right now, it's the best product in it's price range....

Pros: easy to install and use
Cons: software comes with unit

After reviewing and asking people about all of the burners in the $140 to $180 price range I'm very happy with the Plextor.
Even though I have never installed additional hardware on my computer this was a piece of cake. Installed burner and...

Pros: Burns every kind of CD, Fast, Cheap
Cons: Can't think of any.

When I went out looking for a CD burner, I was a little over whelmed.
I finally just went with the some person who supplied my computer.
He recommended the PleXWriter 8/4/32A.
Talking to other people about my burner, they always ask...

Pros: Burns fast, efficient and coaster free (so far)
Cons: Can't burn 80 min cd's but thats all

I've had this burner for more than a year now and I have not experienced any negative side effects yet. It burns quickly and burns everything from disc images to ISO with no problems. It burns on all of the cdr's I have tried with. Gigastorage, Maxwells,...

Pros: Reliable, durable, good value
Cons: Writing audio on cheap media at high speed

For sure, no doubt, Plextor mades finest CD Recorders, their are very careful with the quality and specs of their products.
This model 8/4/32 IDE is an exception in the SCSI world of Plextor CDRW units, but it's a winner. At lower price than SCSI...

Pros: Fast, reliable, easy to use
Cons: they make faster ones these days

I received this CD Burner as a gift over a year ago. And let me say, it has never failed me. No one that I know burns more CDs than I do, this includes VCD's, data CDs, and audio CDs. I wont lie and say its coaster-proof, but usually when it does mess...

Pros: Easy installation. Very reliable burner and works with the most popular burning programs!!
Cons: NONE!!

I purchased the Plexwriter 8/4/32 EIDE about a year ago. This burner has never given me a problem. Even after a year this baby is running like new. I use my burner almost every day. I'm always backing up data and my audio cds. I can be burning my cds and...

Pros: Fast and reliable
Cons: A bit Pricey cann't find external version anywhere

Do You need a fast and reliable cd-rw that can burn every format and go over 700mb without ever getting a buffer under run? If so than I have the perfect drive for you now this drive isn't cheap, but if you burn a lot of cds its worth every penny. The...

Pros: Great for cdr's and cdrw's. Fast burning speed.
Cons: Software that comes with the PlexWriter. They should package Nero or CDRWIN instead.

OK, first of all, I LOVE THIS BURNER! I do a lot of burning, whether its just backing up my computer, or burning cd-boots of concerts. I originally had a Sony burner, I believe it was a 4 or 6x, and let me say, that thing was a piece of crap! Constant...

Pros: Quality
Cons: MP3 software included

This is the first CD Writer I have purchased but used many. Being in the computer field I know about Plextor's reputation....they are one of the best out there. So I purchased one and RAN HOME.

Install:
Install was straight forward plug...

Pros: Works well....usually
Cons: Seems to be picky about certain brand of CDRW blanks

This unit is very picky about the brands of CD blanks I use. I have used Memorex and created coaster after coaster. It loves TDK and likes Verbatim. It also doesnt create
a 700 mb CD, where a lot of new models do so. For the price, you might be able...

Pros: fast, easy to use, useful
Cons: help documentation is lacking

I have never owned a CD burner but have many friends who do and the Plextor came with rave reviews and other brands were disparaged greatly. I am absolutely thrilled with it - being able to very quickly write data and music to cd is fantastic! It...

Pros: Fast, No burn-errors
Cons: Kinda pricy

Plextor has done a fine job at releasing quality CD-RW drives and this cd-rw drive is one of the best yet. It offers amazing speed, and has special technology that lets you use other programs while you're burning and the burn wont get damaged!. I never...
