I@m not sure if these are out in the UK yet, buy just read a review on Anand Tech and seem pretty slick: ther reviewer says "the 712A is essentially a 708A on steroids".
Plexy have bumbed up the buffer to 8mb again, and the original release will be PATA, but other revisions will be SATA.
The DVD-R is still at 8x mind you and the DVD+/-RW was left behind at 4x, but they've upped the CD buring speed to 8x.
Out of 9 piece of media, they only managed to get 2 to run at 12x (not bad since all the disks were rated for 8x use methinks), and one particular ricoh disk only did 2.4x.
So what'll be the cost of owning one of these babies when the're out? $200 in the US, so we should expect these to retail at about £500 in PCW![]()
