Ordered a Plextor SAF model because after lots of recording on the SAW model it couldn't burn dual layer discs anymore. I bet I made 25 coasters in the last year. The SAF model kept coming back with a burning message overflow/underflow. I disabled screensavers, closed all open programs except Toast and moved them to the SSD, writing at 4x speed. 4X is the slowest setting and keeps saying that data isn't being received fast enough to be written to - really with an SSD? Other discs I have burn at 12x or more. Like many other users, the Plextor is not the reliable optical drive of yesteryear. I'm back and will order another brand. A complete waste of money.
