Plextor launches 18x SATA DVD-RW drive
Following on from the recent successful launch of Plextor's PX-760A ATAPI/IDE DVD-RW drive into the market, the company today announces the Serial-ATA version - PX-760SA. This 18x drive is the World's fastest Serial-ATA DVD-ReWriter on the market, capable of 18x DVD+R and 10x DVD+R DL speeds, and is designed to take advantage of the latest motherboard connections within modern PCs.
Separately, Plextor is also launching the next model in its Premium range - PlexWriter Premium2.
This fast drive not only offers 52x read/write and 32x re-writing speeds, but also includes a large 8MB buffer which is useful when multi-tasking to ensure there is no data interruption

The growth in SATA is for a number of good reasons: it is easy to install, hot swappable, allows more flexibility in system design and adds future-proofing for the computing platform. In addition, it enables system reliability improvements to airflow and thermal dynamics, as well as easier installation and upgrades.
Rudy de Meirsman, Sales & Marketing Manager of Plextor Europe, says: "SATA is fast becoming the connection of choice. Motherboard manufacturers have been supplying the technology onboard for the past 12 months and consumers are eager to take advantage of this convenient and latest technology. Hard disks have switched over to SATA technology, so optical drives will follow. Plextor is leading the optical market in making this technology available to end users."
The PX-760SA, which can burn a single layer disc in just 5,5 minutes (and DL in 13,5 minutes), is capable of the following DVD speeds: DVD+/-R - 18x write; DVD+R DL - 10x; DVD-R DL - 6x; DVD+RW - 8x; DVD-RW - 6x; DVD-ROM - 16x.
