"Plextor has released its latest dual-format DVD recorder in the US (UK availability likely towards the end of this month), which is currently the fastest external multi-format DVD recorder available. The PlexWriter PX-712UF (184x265x52mm, 1.7kg) connects to both Windows and Mac computers using either the built-in Hi-Speed USB 2.0 or FireWire interface and writes to DVD+R discs at 12X, DVD-Rs at 8X, DVD+RWs at 4X, and DVD-RWs at 4X. The drive reads DVD-ROMs at up to 16X, and also boasts high-speed 48X CD-R writing, 24X CD-RW rewriting, and 48X CD reading. Plextor hasn't forgotten about software either and the drive ships with CD/DVD burning software from Roxio and buffer underrun protection to help prevent writing errors. There's also Lossless Linking/Zero Link technology, which Plextor says enables you to perform basic editing tasks directly on a DVD disc, eliminating the need to re-burn an entire DVD after making small edits."
Another nice looking external DVD from Plextor. As with all Plextor drives, the bundle looks good and so does the speed. Suhit posted about the internal version of this drive back in March and ExtremeTech posted a review of the internal drive in their High-Speed DVD Burner Roundup back in May.
