| New Plextor DVD drive. Plextor announces Windows Vista-compatible DVD burner This one looks good. Haven't been to the Plextor site but it should be available in SATA. I thought this company was closing but it doesn't look like it. Sandog |

| Vista compatible??? My Plextor works fine with Vista. Maybe they mean DRM compatible.

| Here it is: Plextor > Products > PX-800A Super Multi Drive I can't believe this thing goes for $79 with all that software. I sure hope the same quality exists in their drives. I might get this later. Sandog |

| This new Plextor seems a rebadge Nec/Optirac 7170A. By Vista compatible they mean the software, i think..because any dvd bruner works on vista.

| That sounds right ... Plextools and Plextools XL don't work with VISTA at the moment. The 760A was the last Plextor drive and a premium at that. There are still some around if anyone is interested.

| EIDE? It's good they are appealing to the legacy interface users, but alot of us moved on to SATA a while ago.

| Personally, I would stay away from PATA. This is not bad at all for the cost, and is what is in my current system: Newegg.com - LITE-ON Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner with Replaceable White Front Panel - Retail |
