PC World magazine, the world's largest computer publication, named Plextor's PlexWriter 16/10/40A CD/RW Drive as `Product of the Year' for 2001.
PC World also honored the PlexWriter 16/10/40A with a 2001 World Class Award for Best CD-RW Drive. In selecting the PlexWriter drive from hundreds of the world's most technologically advanced products, PC World noted that Plextor's drives are 'rock-solid performers' and `great values.'
Winning PC World's top annual prize is a huge milestone for the highly acclaimed PlexWriter platform,'' said Howard Wing, vice president of sales and marketing for Plextor. ``In addition to the `Product of the Year' award, this is the third year in a row that Plextor has received a World Class Award for best product in the CD-RW category. The PlexWriter also has appeared consistently in PC World's monthly `Top Ten CD-RW drives' chart for several years running. We believe these accolades speak volumes about the PlexWriter's dependable quality and reliability and we are grateful for this prestigious award from PC World. |
In the World Class Awards article in the July 2001 issue, PC World wrote: ``A humble CD-RW drive as PC World's Product of the Year? Absolutely. This was a year in which many technologies overpromised and underperformed, but CD-RW drives quietly became essential, affordable components for everything from entertainment (mix your own audio CDs) to workaday computing tasks (data backups). Our Product of the Year isn't the cheapest CD-RW out there--just one of the fastest and most reliable. Plextor's drives have always been rock-solid performers and great values, and this $247 PlexWriter is no exception.
