User Reviews for Plextor PX-712A DVDR/RW Drive

Reviewed by: wolfekerr

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Worked great for 15 months.

Weaknesses: DVD portion of drive failed while CD portion continues to work.

Overall Evaluation: Purchased new in December 2004 for $80 from tigerdirect. Burned CDs and DVDs w/o issue. Drive failed to recognize DVDs after 15 months of use. I estimate I've burned ~50 discs w/ it.Great response time and help from Plextor tech support. While the outcome was suboptimal, the help was efficient. Given the 12 month warranty, they won't fix or replace the drive.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Best of the Best...Sooo GLAD I got this BURNER

Weaknesses: Nary a 1

Overall Evaluation: Cost $ 99.99 after rebate from Fry's Electronics. Best money I ever spent... Burns FAST & RELIABLE ALL THE TIME !!!!!!!! Have never had a coaster.. One caveat: Look at tech support site of your buner manufacturer for recommended media... I use1.) Verbatim for RW+ 2.) Maxell and TDK for -R (DVD media) and CD media....Do yourself and your system a favor - GET THIS ITEM.... You will not be disappointed
