Plextor PX-708A DVD Writer Review

Quote from the review at Voided Warranty:

“The Plextor PX-708A offers multiformat support and is marketed as one of the first drives to burn DVD+R at 8X, burning over 4gb of data in just over 8 minutes. Its other recording capabilities include DVD+RW at 4X, DVD-R at 4X, DVD-RW at 2X, CD-R at 40X and CD-RW at 24X. This review is more or less a freebie for Plextor because they can’t afford to give away this drive for the review. Instead they offered this drive at a discounted price. Which I have no idea what that discount will be. With that fact known, this review will not be affected by their marketing practice. But it will affect my decision on choosing which manufacturer to purchase optical products from, it won’t be Plextor.”

Plextor PX-708A 8X DVD Writer Review

Quote from the review:

“If you’re looking for a good dual-format DVD burner right now, then the Plextor PX-708A is an excellent choice, especially since the price of this drive is getting pushed down due to the release of 12X drives. While the PX-708A might not be able to read all media quite as fast as some competitor’s products, it is a very fast-writing drive that seems as though it will work with just about any media out there without any fuss. Overall, this is a great drive. However, if you’re hesitant to buy a DVD burner right now, you might want to wait a little bit longer for dual-format burners to come out.”

Philips DVDR 824P 8x DVD recorder

Quote from the review at CDRInfo:

“The new DVDR824P recorder is definitely a good answer of Philips against the competition of DVD writers in the market, offering the highest writing speeds for DVD recording, and very good performance as a CD-RW drive as well.

The supported 8x DVD+R writing offers impressive recording times, almost the same with Plextor PX-708A. Our 4.315GB DVD movie file was burned in only 8:00 minutes. The drive also burned the same files to a 4x DVD+RW disc in 14:09 minutes. Although the supported media list for 8x is currently very limited, it is expected to be wider as soon as more media manufacturers support 8x recording.”
