Plextor PX-760A 18x speeds?

kalbster · Post by **kalbster** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 3:36 pm

I heard that Plextor just came out with a new DL DVD Burner that pushes 18x speeds.

I heard this was supposed to be a great drive and I put a purchase of the PX-716a on hold so I could compare, but I can't find any real info on it. (or where to buy one)

Is this drive a myth or maybe just not released yet?

It was delayed awhile ago but about 2 weeks ago it got back on track, dunno if its out or not though.

not too sure if manufacturers will rush out and make 18x media just for Plextor.

of all the drives i have bought over the years, plextor is the one brand that i have never had a problem with.

maybe a little more money than some other brands, but i think i have got my moneys worth out of them.

I've never had any problems with my Plextor drives either. That's part of the reason I wanted to stay with them.

I'm sure they will release the 760 as soon as I buy the 716. (That's what happened last time I bought one)

I have the 716A as well. I'd stick with it if I were you. Why bother buying a burner that can POSSIBLY burn media a few seconds faster?

Ya, your probably right.

After I bought my 708a they came out with the 716 with-in a couple of weeks.

The only thing that I didn't like about the 716 is it comes bundled with Roxio instead of Nero.

I used to be a "Roxio" guy. Until about a year ago and I finally used Nero. The learning curve wasn't too steep and it can do sooo much more, and it's sooo much faster.
