Question

I am looking into buying a new CDR drive and I have come to a decision. The Yamaha or Plextor drive? I have read reviews, but I do now know who to believe. I usually just use the drive to back up data and make audio CD's. Any suggestions? Thanks!

If money is not a factor, then get a Plextor.

It matters which model you're talking about. The new 20x Yamaha is better than the 16x plextor. However, 16x to 16x, the Plextor is better.

Then have a look at this baby : http://www.plextor.be (it's on the main page)

The new plextor 24/10/40! That's right! 24x WRITING!

oh yes, to answer the original question : get a plexor!

Both drives are solid performers and hard to make much differences in performances. But plextor imho has just a leetle nibblin' of better performance.
