Plextor Introduces Ultra Portable USB 8/8/24 CD-RW

Another CDR drive from Plextor is now available! It is a portable USB 8/8/24U CD-RW drive. It is light, compact and it's almost pocketsize. It's also very fast for a portable drive (with a USB 2.0 interface). It has 8x CD writing, 8x CD rewriting and 24x speed CD reading with a 2 MB buffer.

Housed in a highly stylish yet durable silver-and-blue enclosure case, the portable drive measures just 5.55-inches by .87-inches by 6.73-inches and weighs only 1.10-lbs. The drive is also labeled with the Hi-Speed USB(TM) logo, which allows consumers to verify that the product they are buying has passed the USB 2.0 compliance program instituted by the USB Implementers Forum.

``The PlexWriter 8/8/24U is one of the most exciting CD-RW drives that Plextor has ever introduced,'' said Howard Wing, vice president of sales and marketing for Plextor. ``It is the very first portable drive to come from Plextor, yet it offers the same high quality and performance as other Plextor CD-RW drives. The PlexWriter 8/8/24U is also the first Plextor CD-RW to support the high-speed USB interface, which means that users can easily share a single drive among multiple PC and Apple Mac platforms for a highly cost effective data storage solution.''

Of course this writer also features BURN-Proof technology. They are already shipping the drive to OEMs, resellers, and distributors with a $289 suggested retail price (with one-year full warranty).

Note: this drive is not available in europe yet. Read the full press release at Yahoo business news.
