Better late than never? The legendary CD-R(W) drive manufacturer finally enters the Dual Layer market, being among the last of the major industry players. As the market already is reaching maturity, Plextor is certainly facing a challenge. Can they still dominate by releasing products of quality above the competition?
Plextor, one of the leading companies for the development and production of reliable, high quality CD/DVD peripherals is expanding its range with its first external Double layer Dual Format drive. The PX-716UF writes at 16X for DVD+R, 16X for DVD-R and 4X for DVD+R DL (Double Layer). The drive rewrites 8X DVD+RW and 4X DVD-RW. The PX-716UF reads CD-ROMs at 48X and DVD-ROMs at 16X.Source: Plextor
