CD Freaks have details about the first Plextor DVD Drive.

"While many companies are currently planning to release dual format drives, Plextor has choosen to go with the DVD+ format. Their first drive is writing DVD+R discs at 4x.
The IDE drive will write DVD at 4x, CD-R at 16x, rewrite DVD at 2.4x , CD-RW at 10x and read DVDs at 12x and CDs at 40x. The drive comes with a buffer underrun protection and has a access time of < 120ms for CDs and < 140ms for DVDs. The European package also includes the popular software package Plextools. "


Specs :
  • Writing DVD: 4x, CD: 16x
  • Rewriting DVD: 2.4x, CD: 10x
  • Reading DVD: 12x, D: 40x
  • Buffer Underrun Proof Technology

  • Wide CD-R and CD-RW media compatibility (74min and Type80 - 79min)
  • Includes PlexTools
It is a sure sign in my opinion that the DVDR+ standard will win over DVDR, now that brands like Plextor are supporting it, but it is very annoying for users of DVD-R to find Plextor not supporting it. CD Freaks also a good picture of what the Plextor will look like.
