Description Back to Top
PlexWriter ™ 40/12/40A E-IDE (ATAPI) drive, with built-in BURN-Proof ™ technology, delivers exceptionally fast performance in a professional 3-in-1 CD solution, while upholding the legendary Plextor ® reliability.
Proven performance leader.
The PlexWriter 40/12/40A combines Plextor’s proven reliability with the most exceptional record, rewrite and playback capabilities available. CD-Recording at blazing 40X* speeds, the PlexWriter 40/12/40A maintains the highest quality and stability while creating a 650 MB disc in less than 3 minutes. CD-ReWriting is now achieved at faster than ever 12X speeds. With 40X max read, the PlexWriter 40/12/40A qualifies as a full-time replacement for your existing CD-ROM or CD-R drive.
The performance you need.
The PlexWriter 40/12/40A delivers industry leading performance for incremental back-ups, archiving images, creating multimedia, mastering new software, mixing and creat-ing custom audio discs, CD duplication, file sharing and much more. Professional users trust Plextor with their most valuable data.
Easy to install.
With an E-IDE (ATAPI) interface and Plug & Play compatibility, installing a CD-RW drive has never been easier. You can reclaim valu-able hard disk space or copy and share files with Drag & Drop simplicity within minutes of opening the box.
PoweRec-II technology.
PoweRec-II ™ is a sophisticated write strategy that guarantees results across a broad base of certified media. This unique feature calibrates the media to each drive, ensuring the highest quality write using Z-CLV servo positioning.
Backed by Plextor reliability.
Plextor’s reputation for maintaining the highest reliability in the industry is achieved through state of the art engineering. Plextor has now engineered into the PlexWriter 40/12/40A a new technology called BURN-Proof, eliminating buffer underrun errors that occur in fast write modes. These are the errors that result in wasted “coasters” —CDs rendered unusable due to a failure during recording.
BURN-Proof not only compensates for slower source drives, but also allows the PlexWriter 40/12/40A to be used for multi-tasking. You can now do other things on your PC—like sending email, or Web surfing—while burning flawless CDs.
Powerful software puts you in control.
The PlexWriter 40/12/40A comes with a wide variety of powerful software tools to help you make the most out of your creativity. In addition to CD recording/ mastering software, there’s an easy writing program so you can drag and drop files to CD-R and CD-media.
