    Wow that's strange, Plextor is usually the industry standard for great optical drives.

    Might be an issue with the controller on the motherboard. SATA connected optical drives are new and not all board support them - kind of hit or miss. Plextor may work well on one board and crap out on another. I'll check and see if there is a firmware upgrade to the burner to help with compatibility.

    I've used Plextor for years with no issues. The two drives in my current PC are Plextor.

    I think this is the first time I've ever heard anything bad about Plextor..from what I understood, the only downside was the price.

    Since I'm cheap, I prefer Lite-On. :p
