Plextor First With A 12x DVD+R Drive

Posted by timothy on from the far-faster-than-average-burners-remember dept.

Tesko writes "It seems the first 12x DVD+R drive has been released by none other than Plextor, with their Model PX-712A (Product link here). The drive's write speed includes, 48X CD-R, 24X CD-RW, 12X DVD+R, 8X DVD-R, 4X DVD+RW, 4X DVD-RW. And it's read speed comes in at 48X CD-ROM/CD-R, and 16X DVD-ROM. Also noteworthy, the drive apparently has a 8MB buffer."

    Also remember that Plextor is making a Serial ATA version of this drive. This is one of the very fist Serial ATA optical drive on the market.

    Blinks on purpose:
    .regtext {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 14px;
    color: #000000;
    text-decoration: blink;

    It certainly does in Mozilla 1.6. The HTML source code for the Plextor page is littered with tags with class="blink". And their CSS file says:
    .blink {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 11px;
    line-height: 14px;
    color: #333333;
    text-decoration: blink;
    }
