Product of the Year

Plextor PlexWriter 16/10/40A: A humble CD-RW drive as PC World's Product of the Year? Absolutely. This was a year in which many technologies overpromised and underperformed, but CD-RW drives quietly became essential, affordable components for everything from entertainment (mix your own audio CDs) to workaday computing tasks (data backups). Our Product of the Year isn't the cheapest CD-RW out there--just one of the fastest and most reliable. Plextor's drives have always been rock-solid performers and great values, and this $247 PlexWriter is no exception.
