Plextor 16X Dual Layer

I picked up the the 12x SATA version and it is hands down the best burner I have ever owned.

They've seem to have abandoned the sata version with this. Lack of demand???

I suspect it will follow shortly.

I'm kind of pissed off at Plextor. I called them less than a week ago and asked them if they had a 16x burner of any flavor around the corner. I also specifically asked about 4x dual layer. The guy on the phone denied until the bitter end that they were going to have a product out anytime soon. He said it would be Christmas at the earliest.

I even went so far as to say that I thought it was funny that all of the competition had already come out with 16x and they hadn't yet. His answer was that there 12x or almost as fast as most 16x. I haven't really read the reviews or done any testing to prove this.

IN the end, I just said screw it and bought the 12x sata burner. Now they announce this

Thanks for ****ing lying to me Plextor!

Duuuuuude thats what I've been waiting for. A real dual-layer drive that looks like it was designed as one instead of just normal with hacked firmware. Will go nicely with my plextor premium cdrw drive. MSRP of $149 for the internal to.. not bad at all.

Oh and yeah never trust anyone when you call a company about knowing of or telling the truth about new products coming out.

I wonder why there are still no blank media for DL dvd.

[Kooldino]

Hel - That sucks. That's why I never trust those guys. They NEVER know what they're talking about.

The Plextor 12x is at Dell for $90-$50 rebate right now. I'm considering it.

Hey Tom, no offense or anything but you look a lot like Julian from Trailer Park Boys.

That is an excellent price for that drive. You won't be disappointed.

[Helevitia]

Where is the $50 rebate? I know of a $30 rebate, but not $50.

Thanks for the link.

I was gonna buy it and stick it in my wife and kids machine, but it is actually $55 shipped to me since shipping is $7 and tax is $8.

Still a good deal though for someone that doesn't have anything yet.

I was in BB and was going to buy a dual layer burner and I happened to see the price of the media.. and walked out without it!
