Plextor PX-860 With 12X Writing on Dual-Layer, and 20X on DVD-R

Plextor chose CeBIT 2009 in Hannover to unveil its latest optical drive with a choice of interfaces – the  internal  DVD-ReWriter with ATAPI/IDE interface (PX-860A) and SATA (PX-860SA). Each is capable of reaching writing speeds of 12x  DL and 20x DVD.

Designed to match both black and white PCs, the PX-860 series comes complete with two easy to change front bezels.
 
PX-860A  and  PX-860SA
As usual, Plextor includes a SATA variant, the PX-860SA. The growth in SATA is for a variety of good reasons: it is scalable, allows more flexibility in system design and adds future-proofing for the computing platform. It also enables system reliability improvements to airflow and thermal  dynamics, as well as easier installation and upgrades.

Ideal for business professionals, home enthusiasts and those users requiring the latest speeds, the premium quality PX-860 is an update from Plextor PX-820 series launched last year.

The Plextor PX-860A and PX-860SA
are capable of the following speeds:

• 20x DVDR
• 12x DVDR  DL
• 8x DVD+RW
• 6x DVD-RW
• 12x DVD-RAM  read  &  Write
• 16x DVD-ROM
• 40x CD-R
