Plextor writer works great was not in a new box!?

Good Value



Does the job great, good packaging, extra DVD-s included, software included is good also.


I haven't had any issues with it. I hardly use it but it works great when I do.

Cost and broad compatibility



Um it opens and it closes. I don't think i've read a CD/DVD yet with the thing I guess i should check it out... But im sure it works.

easy to install worked out of the box fast read/write speeds

WE know it's obsolete. But it babysits the kids with old Dora the Explorer DVD's Dude, It's a Dell! Remember that? Burns both sides of a DVD? If only I had the media.

Lasts very long (of all Plextor burners I have installed over 10 years none has gone bad yet)! I have yet to produce a coaster (except through user error)! These newer models have very low noise level! Burns M-Disc without hiccup (there is no separate indication that M-disc is being burnt)! Among the most sturdy and robust burners! Plus version improvements over regular version (copied from Runtechmedia's posting on another website): 1) The PX-891SAF PLUS uses enhanced material for the drive tray belt, which allows the tray to operate 6 times longer than a standard ODD. 2) Uses a top grade OPU with a better heat sink kit. This increases the burning stability (better quality), as well as enhances the drives sustainability and reliability. 3) Drive can perform 24/7 operation by transferring heat faster through higher grade IC heat sink kit. 4) Supports 8x burning speed for CD-R. Unique quality for greater Audio Quality Recording (for music enthusiast) 5) Enhancements to its internal media compatibility list that allows for some improved performance with select media brands and formats. We hope this helps clarify for you and we will look to add more differentiation to the listings to prevent any confusion in the future.

Couldn't be happier. It reads and burns CD's and DVD's quite well. Works perfectly in Linux or Windows.

Fast and works correctly

great product, FAST ship, NO problems! very pleased

Worked 6 months burned a couple of CDs light scribed worked after I found the software and tinkered with it, Not real sure why it quit I stored it in a drawer and it didn't get banged around it may be my fault WMP writing program reported drive was full and I couldn't write a CD I just decided to buy another drive so we'll see if it works fine if not fine I'll just have two working drives and user error update for this review I had same error with new drive so I downloaded Nero free software and it is fine, the issue is with MS not the CD drive

Great for our use.
