Highly accurate and reliable DVD recording at 24X. Supports full range of common DVD & CD formats including DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, DVD-RAM, CD-RW and CD-R. Secure Media Speed Stability - Ensures that media duplication speed does not exceed encoded maximum rates to provide better burning control and virtually eliminates bad burns.

Archival Burning Capability - Able to burn virtually all makes of specialty archival media, including the 1000 year M-Disc brand.

Very happy with this purchase.

Plextor customer for the first time. I use other brands like LG and Asus but I think Plextor is better. The first thing I noticed was that it is very quiet. I bought a new desktop computer, but it only has a compact tray burner and is not motorized. It will be extracted automatically, but you have to close it manually. I record a lot of DVDs. The software I use for burning has to go through the tray after writing to verify the writing. This drive does exactly that. I installed it in a Vantec…

Pros
  • Nice appearance
Cons
  • Some flaws

Fantastic product, software CD must be destroyed

This is a super quiet DVD-RW with excellent performance. However, it includes a software disc which should not be used under any circumstances. Unless you're desperately trying to install malware. If you read critical reviews on the manufacturer's own website, you know that the software disk is intentionally corrupted to help the "free" software provider make a profit. I checked the drive with Bitdefender which seemed to only check for viruses and it passed. However, with the help of…

Pros
  • One year trial version
Cons
  • Available in white only

Very "quiet " burner

A few "burners" have been used over the years, so far this burner beats them all, fast and quiet, yet very accurate. Will buy another one for my other computer. I hope they will continue to be "almost quiet" performers with a "flow of time". Many Thanks.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • weak

quality and worth the money.

It had great user reviews but was slightly more expensive than most of its competitors. I bought cheaper brands, had problems and ended up spending more money to replace them. Save yourself the trouble and strive for the best. That's it! It worked great for me and is now my favorite CD/DVD drive.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • No form required
