Plextor Introduces Ultra Portable USB 8/8/24 CD-RW

Another CDR drive from Plextor is now available! It is a portable USB 8/8/24U CD-RW drive. It is light, compact and it's almost pocketsize. It's also very fast for a portable drive (with a USB 2.0 interface). It has 8x CD writing, 8x CD rewriting and 24x speed CD reading with a 2 MB buffer.

Housed in a highly stylish yet durable silver-and-blue enclosure case, the portable drive measures just 5.55-inches by .87-inches by 6.73-inches and weighs only 1.10-lbs. The drive is also labeled with the Hi-Speed USB(TM) logo, which allows consumers to verify that the product they are buying has passed the USB 2.0 compliance program instituted by the USB Implementers Forum.

``The PlexWriter 8/8/24U is one of the most exciting CD-RW drives that Plextor has ever introduced,'' said Howard Wing, vice president of sales and marketing for Plextor. ``It is the very first portable drive to come from Plextor, yet it offers the same high quality and performance as other Plextor CD-RW drives. The PlexWriter 8/8/24U is also the first Plextor CD-RW to support the high-speed USB interface, which means that users can easily share a single drive among multiple PC and Apple Mac platforms for a highly cost effective data storage solution.''

Of course this writer also features BURN-Proof technology. They are already shipping the drive to OEMs, resellers, and distributors with a $289 suggested retail price (with one-year full warranty).

Note: this drive is not available in europe yet. Read the full press release at Yahoo business news.

Would have been nice last year or two years ago, and you need USB 2.0 to get 8/8/24, otherwise it's only 4/4/6... I'll wait for the next big thing Smilie

My question is does it do Correct EFM Encoding? Cause that would go great with my laptop instead of lugging the PX-R 8/20 around.
