Plextor closes it's doors to CD and DVD products


Sad to see Plextor bowing out of the CD and DVD market :(

It was a high quality product at slightly higher price than mass market drives but worth every penny. I have been a very satisfied Plextor customer since 1999 when I first bought the 12/10/32A, still in service. My last was the Plextor External DVD burner 755UF bought just a couple of months ago.

Plextor will be greatly missed not just by myself but many audiophiles who really appreciated what it had to offer in terms of quality, reliability and performance.

Crap...thanks for the notice.. I'll buy another Plextor drive so I can use it with Plextor Tools to rips lossless to Flac... A lot easier than using EAC.

My 716A drive died and they sent me an email they offer no service on their gear anymore now hearing this makes sense.
The advantage of buying a plextor is you can use Pextor Professional Tools to rip FLAC lossless and it is calibrated for the drive similar to Exact Copy without all the hassel of initial configuration. This is why I choose to spend more for the plextor drives.
on the older drives you receive the Plextor Tools Professional LE version which can still do it.. some came with the Professional XL versions which have more features but they $$$.

There is a new LE version that works on Vista also.
The interface is really simple since it lacks features, But that makes it easy.
