Europe has send out a press release, announcing the Plextor PX-740A DVD
recorder. This drive is a DVD recorder and CD burner and writes DVD-R and DVD+R

DVD-RW. Additionally, the PX-740A can write and read CD's at 48x and re-write
CD's at 32x. However the drive is different from other Plextor 16x
DVD recorders:
today announces the launch of the PX-740A, an internal E-IDE, dual-layer, DVD and CD re-writer drive. Ideal for the cost-conscious buyer who doesn't want to comprise on quality or speed. Offering fast writing speeds of up to 16x, the drive is ideal for everyday home and small business users, who don't require the extra professional features offered with Plextor's flagship PX-716A dual-layer drive. |
Still, the drive comes with Plextools professional, buffer
underrun protection technology, DVD±VR and users will have the capability
of chosing between a white or black bezel. It does not seem to have features
such as GigaRec, VariRec and SecuRec. The drive will become available from June
2005, no pricing information was given.
More information can be found on the Plextor website. Discuss this new drive in our Plextor
Forum.
