Plextor 24/10/40 retail $138 gotta love newegg

[scornful]

Found a great deal on a plextor 24x at newegg when pricing out a computer for a friend. I've seen better prices on Sony's and what not but for a Plex this aint too bad.........

[adamone11]

Candian's don't have friends. Things up there cost too much to spread around, eh?

Or just get the Plextor 40X/12X/40X $152.11 shipped (after 15% off coupon) at Dell Business. I put the coupon code on my site since I can't post it here.

my thoughts exactly.

In defense of newegg.com, I just returned an item, sent it out last Monday, and a brand new replacement is set to return to me this Monday or Tuesday. Pretty quick turnaround time if you ask me, especially considering I'm going from East Coast -> West Coast and back again!

BTW- I've owned 5 various Plextor drives (32X Reader, 40X Reader, 8x12 CD-R, 12/10/32 CD-RW, 16/10/40 CD-RW) and they've all been great. All 5 are still in use in different computers! I would never buy anything other than Plextor again.

Or you could spend an extra $12 and get a 40x12x40 from Dell.

 

[U2ForNow]

Seems like a good deal, Is newegg.com associated wit mwave.com? They seem to have almost identical websites?

 

[cookj]

Shoot,I gave $160 for my 24/10/40 plextor from newegg about 6-8 weeks agh well,I`m happy with it

How much faster than my current Plex 12x10x32 is the 40x12x40, really? My impression is that they just changed the way the numbers are calculated to a large extent - ie, you only get 40x write on a very small portion of the disc? To write a whole disc it's not 3x faster, right? Is it 2x, or 1.5x, or 1.1x???

Just wondering if I should buy!

thx!

No doubt a good deal. The Dell 40X deal for $12 more is a little better if you must have a Plex. The I/O Magic deal at Omax is a LOT better (less than half the price) if you would just as soon have a 24X Lite-On that comes with Nero (if you don't get a Lite-On, you can always return it). I won't dispute that the Plex is a "higher quality" drive (as far as construction), but if it burns, who cares? I mean, you will probably be upgrading it in under a year when writeable DVD drives get cheap anyway, so why shell out the extra $70 now for the same speed and same specs?

Nack

Does this drive do SD2?

If it doesn't then can someone provide me a link that has drives that do SD2

TIA
