They're relatively hard to get hold of now, do you need a Plextor for some specific reason?

Mine starting to play little games with me, looking for a new dvdrw and plextor has been the only models ive purchased, well ive also purchased liteon until they were taken over by sony.

Both Liteon and Sony are very good from what I know and I own a model from each of them, an Optiarc 7240S and a Liteon iHAS524 and could recommend either. I also own an LG but it's a little noisy. Is there a reason you avoid their drives at all?

I've only had success with Plextor in the past or Panasonic in recent years.

I really don't think you can go far wrong with them these days. There isn't really a lot of innovation in that market these days, they all seem much the same now.

I used to swear by Plextor for audio ripping, but with accurate ripping tools now, I don't think it's really much of an issue. I use dbPoweramp with AccurateRip.

mine [the plextor reader] started playing up and I wacked in a liteon ide drive.
seems to work just aswell.
