Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Efficient Performance: Plextor PlexWriter PX-891SAF 24X SATA DVD/RW Dual Layer Burner Drive Writer - Black (Bulk) by Brad Phifer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not yesterday's Plextor.

Plextor used to make the best optical drives on the market, but those days seem to be over. In fact, this drive looks pretty much the same as the crappy LG that came with my Cyberpower desktop, with a slight difference in the texture of the plastic frame and of course the name. This should have been 2 stars out of the box as the Plextor is $10 more expensive, but the ejection mechanism also broke right out of the box so I downgraded the rating to the lowest possible. One possible reason (besides the poor quality) is that the drive was shipped in a plastic bag with no seal (not the box), so this could very well be Revain's fault.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
