My Plextor 740A Review


The Plextor 740A was a real intersting drive to review. It's very fast read performance won't be bested for some time. I'm still not sure why the dual layer write didn't work out.
The Plextor 740A is a mixed bag of high and low points. I was very impressed with its CD, and DVD reading performances that put it up there with the fastest of the dedicated reader drives. While I was also impressed with its fast, high quality writing on both CDR’s and DVD+R’s, it did disappoint on DVD+RW, and DVD+R DL media. The high quality on the DVD-R disc was a high point as well. Assess your needs carefully, and if the tasks this drive excels at are your predominant tasks, then the Plextor 740A is the drive for you. The full Nero burning suite in the latest edition sweetens the affordable deal even further.
