Plextor Ships External 16X DVD Burner
September 06, 2005
Fremont, CA - Plextor announced the immediate availability of the PX-740UF DVD+/-R/RW drive ($179.00). The black external drive is aimed at mainstream PC users who want fast performance but don't require professional recording features.
The concept behind the PX-740 Series drives is simple: give customers the very fast recording speed and high level of reliability, without professional features they don't need. Now customers can choose between the internal PX-740A and external PX-740UF versions, with both models delivering the same performance and quality.
A dual interface supports both Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and full-speed compliant IEEE-1394 FireWire, enabling Plextor customers to easily share a single external high-performance DVD/CD recorder among multiple Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows-based personal computer systems. Burst data transfer rates of 480 Mbps (USB) or 400 Mbps (Firewire) allow a user to burn a 4.7GB DVD+R disc in approximately six minutes, according to the company.
The PX-740UF is designed to deliver recording speeds of 16X DVD+/-R on recommended single-layer DVD media. Users also can burn up to four hours of high-quality MPEG-2/DVD video on a single 8.5 GB disk using 8X DVD+R on Double-Layer (DL) DVD media and 4X DVD-R on Dual Layer (DL) DVD media.
Plextor PX-740UF Series DVD+/-R/RW Drive
The Plextor PX-740UF Series drive is a versatile 10-in-1 DVD/CD burner that supports 8X DVD+R DL, 4X DVD-R DL, and 16X DVD+/-R Writing; 8X DVD+RW and 6X DVD-RW Rewriting; and 16X max DVD-Reading; as well as high-speed 48X CD-R Writing, 32X CD-RW Rewriting, and 48X max CD-Reading.
The PX-740UF drive has a 2 MB buffer and features Buffer Underrun Proof Technology to prevent buffer underrun errors and allow multi-tasking. Lossless Linking/Zero Link technology enables users to perform basic editing tasks directly on the DVD disc. The PX-740UF also supports DVD+RW background format, which eliminates the need to format a DVD+RW disc manually, thus reducing the total time it takes to write data to a disc.
Nero Software Bundle
The PX-740UF drive ships with Nero 6 software suite for burning video, music, photos, and data to DVD or CD. The Plextor bundle includes Nero Express 6 for CD & DVD recording; NeroVision Express 2 SE for DVD video editing and authoring; Nero PhotoShow Express for photo management and editing; InCD 4.2 for drag & drop packet writing; Nero Showtime for video playback; and Nero Toolkit for drive test and speed control.
