Internal Drive Features 12X DVD-RAM Performance and Latest Roxio Software Bundle
Plextor announced the immediate availability of the TurboPlex PX-800A DVD Super Multi Drive. Fully compatible with the new Windows® Vista™ operating system, the new DVD±R/RW CD-R/RW drive introduces a new level of performance and features, including 12X DVD-RAM and a software bundle that includes Roxio Easy Media Creator 9.
The Plextor PX-800A drive features an E-IDE ATAPI interface for easy connectivity with personal computers running the Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista operating systems. The PX-800A drive also supports industry-leading 12X-speed DVD-RAM functionality for removable data storage applications. A user simply inserts a blank DVD-RAM disc and the system automatically formats the disc and assigns a driver letter. Users can drag-and-drop files, use the “save as” command, and remove the disc, which can then be read in any PC or desktop player with a drive that supports the DVD-RAM format.
The PX-800A internal multi-drive delivers fast DVD recording speeds of 18X DVD±R on single-layer media, 8X DVD±R on Double-Layer and Dual-Layer (DL) media, and 12X DVD-RAM. The drive also supports 8X DVD+RW, 6X DVD-RW, 16X max DVD-ROM, 48X CD-R/RW/ROM, 12X DVD-RAM. DVD±VR is supported for direct disc recording, while DVD+RW background format eliminates the need to manually format a DVD+RW disc.
The PX-800A multi-drive features a 2MB buffer and Buffer Underrun Proof Technology to prevent buffer underrun errors and allow multi-tasking.
Plextor’s PX-800A drive ships to distributors in North and South America in April 2007, with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $79.00 USD (about €59). All retail packages include one-year full warranty and unlimited toll-free technical support.

I sure hope this isn't the only Vista-compatible DVD recorder made by Plextor.

I guess it's more about software than hardware compatibility

I've yet to come across an optical drive that WON'T work in Vista. As Liggy summed up quite nicely, it's the software, not the hardware.
