Media Compatibility
 

In this part of our PleXCombo PX-320A review we'll test how fast the drive can write different CD-Recordable media. Of course we tested every disc afterwards if errors had occurred. We used a 700MB avi-file and used Nero Burning Rom to write this file in DAO (Disc At Once) mode. Every disc was finalized and set-up as non-multisession. In the table below we've summed it all up for you:

Media Compatibility

Since the PleXCombo PX-320A is only a 10x re-writer we didn't mention its write times with CD-ReWriteable media. Almost all discs nowadays can be written at 10x and the write times are only important when dealing with a recorder that has higher re-write speeds (12x and up).

Conclusion:

The PleXCombo PX-320A could write almost all discs at their certified speed. The Infiniti 99 minute CD-R's were the only discs recorded at a lower speed than certified. We of course tested discs that were written at a higher speed than certified for. All discs worked just fine and we can thus conclude the PleXCombo PX-320A has a good media compatibility.

To conclude our review we will take a look at how far the PleXCombo PX-320A can overburn and if it can handle 8cm CD-R's...

Great review, but you forgot the all-important AUDIO PROTECTIONS. Can this drive copy/rip all the current audio protections such as Cactus Data Shield (100, 200, 300?) and key2audio (v1, v2, v3) like all(?) other Plextor drives?
