Plextor PX716UF External DVD writer

Wednesday, April 20th, 2005 | DVD and CD Drive Reviews, Reviews

This is one of the coolest external DVD burners I have seen. It is fully featured, burning as fast as any internal DVD burner, which is quite an accomplishment.

This drive would certainly prove useful for people who want to use the drive on more than one computer. It offers 16x writing on both formats as well as supporting dual layer burning.

My only gripe is the pricetag, nearly 250 bucks. Yes, it’s a cool looking and useful burner, but for that price, if you were going to move it between 4 or less locations, you could just buy internals for each place.

With that said it is still useful. For those who plan to do lots of data transfer on many computers, this high speed machine would suit well. Offering good speeds and useability.

You would still have to install software at every place you use the burner too, but for the buyer who has nearly everything, this is a good buy.
