I just recieved my Plextor
40/12/40
burner from newegg.com. Man does this drive
rock. Burns a full 80min CD in \~3 minutes. I can burn a cd while going
to the bathroom rather then while I am eating dinner. With the
Burn-proof technology you won't get any coasters either. The only ones I
have gotten where when my computer hard froze because of some of other
problem unrelated to the burning.
Works great under linux with ide-scsi emulation and cdrecord/xcdroast.
Made a audio CD and a few data CDs all work perfectly.
This drive also does DAE(Digital Audio Extraction) at two times my
AOpen DVD drive and 3x my old crappy Acer 52x cdrom. Very nice for
someone like me who does alot of DAE.
Also supports overwrite and rawwrite if you so desire.
All this for \~\$100 not a bad deal at all.
