| I received this drive from Plextor in an RMA exchange after my PX-760A failed under warranty. Previous to Plextor, I have owned three Pioneer drives, all of which performed well. My PX-760A was a superb product in every way, producing discs with low bit error rates, at high speeds. This drive, however, produces higher bit error rates than any of my previous drives mentioned above. In addition, it refuses to write on my Memorex DVD+RW 8x discs at more than 2.4X using Nero 6, and it won't write to them at all using Sony DVD Architect. These Memorex discs are Ritek media, branded by Memorex (media ID "Ritek 008," as reported by PlexTools). Most of the advanced writing strategies supported by my old PX-760A are not supported by this drive, and perhaps as a result of this, the error rates, when measured by a separate drive (i.e., I am measuring error rates on separate drive, so that I can compare exactly the errors from my old PX-760A using the same media, to those I get on this drive), are far higher than any of my older drives. This drive represents a major step backward for Plextor and I definitely cannot recommend that anyone purchase this drive. It is a shame, because the 760A was the best drive I ever owned.

more technical information.New comments= New comments since your last visit. New Writer = New DVD Writer since your last vist. OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer. Chipset The manufacturer of the main chipset the DVD writer/recorder is based on. Write support / Read support DVD-R = Works DVD-R? = Not tested Single Layer(4.7GB) write speeds 1x (CLV) = about 58 minutes 2x (CLV) = about 29 minutes 2.4x (CLV) = about 24 minutes 4x (CLV) = about 14.5 minutes 6x (CLV/ZCLV) = about 10-12 minutes 8x (PCAV/ZCLV) = about 8-10 minutes 12x (PCAV/ZCLV) = about 6.5-7.5 minutes 16x (CAV/ZCLV) = about 6-7 minutes Dual/Double Layer(8.5GB) write speeds 1x CLV = about 105 minutes 2.4x CLV = about 44 minutes 4x CLV = about 27 minutes Single Layer (4.7GB) read speeds 1x read speed is 1.321MB/s = ~56 minutes 6x CAV (avg. ~4x) read speed is max 7.93MB/s = ~14 minutes 8x CAV (avg. ~6x) read speed is max 10.57MB/s = ~10 minutes 12x CAV (avg. ~8x) read speed is max 15.85MB/s = ~7 minutes 16x CAV (avg. ~12x) read speed is max 21.13MB/s = ~5 minutes DVD Write types CAV = Constant Angular Velocity, the DVD is written at a constantly increasing speed. CLV = Constant Linear Velocity, the DVD is written at a constant speed. ZCLV = Zone Constant Linear Velocity, the DVD is divided into zones. After each zone the write speed is increased. PCAV = Partial Constant Angular Velocity, the DVD is being written at an increasing speed until a certain speed. After this speed it will not increase anymore. Connection Desktop = Standalone desktop DVD Recorder EIDE = Computer DVD Writer with EIDE/IDE connection SCSI = Computer DVD Writer with SCSI connection USB = Computer desktop DVD Writer with USB 2.0 or/and 1.1 connection FireWire = Computer desktop DVD Writer with IEEE 1394/FireWire/i.Link connection (some standalone desktop dvd recorder supports this also but then it is usually to connect your DV camera to the recorder) Rating The first rating is based on a weighted rank (the true Bayesian), it requires at least 5 votes to get a weighted rating. The second rating between the ( ) is a normal average rating. |
