Slashdot Mirror

Have you checked the new plextor writer? I got one of these babies. It uses BURN-proof technology, licensed from sanyo I believe, which will allow a cdwriter to pause when the buffer is low. This is the first time I bought a IDE cd-rw (I am a scsi user) because of this. I was unable to create a single bad cd, no matter how hard I tried (i.e. I tried on the fly mp3->cdaudio encoding on a p266). I even tried ejecting it, and after I put the cd back in, Nero asked me if I wanted to resume my ISO (was burning freebsd). Not to mention, you can't beat the speed of this machine, 12x write, 10x rewrite.
