I suppose this is www.pctools.be?
Another question, on site it says they don't work with stocks, so how long did you have to wait before you got it?

thx!

but it shines when writing to DVD

used a Sony DVD+R 4x disc, was unable to read it afterwards in an older Aopen 16X DVD :/

the plextor is very silent, compared to other CD/CDRW/DVD drives I've been using

+3 mins @ 40x cdr write? Isn't that kind of a lot? In the tests that I've read the drive burns an image of 700 meg in 2.50 mins...

Dito for DVD-R, shouldn't it be about 8 minutes? Or is it because of the 4x media?

I'm considering that drive too, looks really great. Still not sure though, new 8x Lite-on looks really nice too and is priced a lot lower. ( +/- 180 € )

I was working on the PC at the same time, doing pretty disk & cpu intensive tasks, explains the higher times, but is still pretty good in my book

the long DVD recording is due indeed to the plextor reverting back to 4x recording I guess
