Plextor is releasing a lot
of new products lately and today they have announced two more new drives, the
PlexWriter 52/24/52A and the PX-504UF DVD recorder, which is an external
version of the PX-504A
DVD+RW recorder.

Plextor products: the PlexWriter 52/24/52A and the DVD recorder PX-504UF.
The newest offshoot of the PlexWriter family, the CD-RW drive 52/24/52A,
could be described as the 'home' version of big brother PlexWriter
Premium. This drive is also equipped with PoweRec, VariRec, 'Buffer
Underrun Proof' technology and an ATAPI (E-IDE) interface and it writes
and reads discs at an express speed of 52x. The PlexWriter 52/24/52A

as an internal version with white or black front bezel.
The very latest DVD+R/RW drive PX-504UF is the
external version of the PX-504A, which recently came onto the market and
is characterised by its unique double USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394 (FireWire)
interface. With this drive you have no problems in writing, re-writing and
reading CDs and DVDs, and that at speeds of 16x, 10x and 40x respectively
for CDs and 4x, 2.4x and 12x for DVDs. To avoid problems with writing, the
stylish drive is supplied with a buffer memory of 2 MB. True to tradition,
both new releases are supplied as a total package inclusive of
professional software, the necessary cables and other
