#8 - Plextor PX708A 8x DVD Burner
Plextor has pushed the envelope in burning speed beyond just 8x burning. One of the unfortunate factors of DVD burning is that the fastest media is more expensive and usually lags the new burners by several months. So, although the Plextor drive supports 8x burn speeds, 8x rated blank media is still several months away. Plextor has solved this dilemma. Their PoweRec technology analyzes your blank +R media and determines the fastest possible speed it can safely burn. Pop in a high quality 4x DVD+R disk and you may achieve 6x, 7x or even 8x burning! The key to this technology is the simple fact that not all blank DVDs are created equal. The better quality media actually spec out better than the rating on the label. But beware – the inverse is also true. Unfortunately there is a lot of cheap media around that will not even support the 4x rating on label consistently. The Plextor 708 series handles this by slowing down the burn speed, rather than just popping out coasters. It may sound complicated, but the Plextor burner does it all automatically. What you get is simply the fastest DVD burner on the market!

PLEXTOR SUPPORTS LEADING DVD FORMAT STANDARDS WITH NEW DUAL DVD±R/RW DRIVE
Plextor PX-708A Drive is First to Market with 8X DVD+R, 40X CD-R, 24X CD-RW
Bridging the gap between the two leading DVD recordable format standards, Plextor® Corp., a leading developer and manufacturer of DVD and CD recording equipment, today announced its first ever drive to burn DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs. The new Plextor drive helps remove the risk of purchasing a DVD/CD burner that does not comply with future DVD recording standards, and gives customers greater flexibility in choosing which DVD recordable media they use today.
Plextor's PX-708A drive supports 8X DVD+R and 4X DVD-R Writing; 4X DVD+RW and 2X DVD-RW Rewriting; and 12X max DVD-Reading. The new DVD/CD burner also boasts high-speed 40X CD-R Writing, 24X CD-RW Rewriting, and 40X max CD-Reading. The internal ATA/ATAPI-5 interface drive includes a bundle of premium digital media software from Roxio, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROXI), including Easy CD & DVD Creator® 6.1 Basic DVD Edition and PhotoSuite® 5 SE.
"DVD burners today are similar to VCRs in the early Eighties, when people had to choose between VHS and Betamax," said Howard Wing, vice president of sales and marketing for Plextor. "With so many different recordable formats for DVDs, how do users even know which DVD format is compatible with their existing systems? The PX-708A supports nearly every standard in the DVD universe, including DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD-ROM. This highly flexible standard support makes the PX-708A the DVD/CD recorder of choice for the vast majority of business and consumer applications."
