Plextor announces PX-240A CD-RW drive
It is year 2007, and Plextor is releasing a new CD-RW drive! Plextor emerged early on the CD recorder market years ago and immediately earned their legendary reputation by producing high quality CD-ROM and CD-RW drives, which were especially good in ripping CD audio. Interestingly, they seem to be the last and only major optical drive vendor still putting effort into developing new CD-RW products. The PX-240A comes with premium CD recording features and a $59 price tag in the US. And no, it will not burn or read your DVDs…
The PX-240A 3-in-1 CD-RW drive delivers lightening fast CD recording speeds of 52X CD-R and 32X CD-RW, as well as 52X CD-ROM playback, with broad-base CD media compatibility. The drive features a 2MB buffer and Buffer Underrun Proof Technology to prevent buffer underrun errors and allow multi-tasking. High-quality Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) eliminates pops, clicks, and hisses for superior sound quality. The PX-240A also supports Ultra DMA-2 for fast data transfer, and S/PDIF connector for digital audio equipment. For easy connectivity with personal computers running the Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista operating systems, the new internal Plextor drive features an E-IDE ATAPI interface.
