Plextor has announced the immediate availability of the PX-240A Ultimate 3-in-1 CD-RW Drive. The new CD-R/RW/ROM drive is RoHS compliant and fully compatible with the new Windows Vista operating system. The PX-240A drive introduces a new level of CD drive performance and features. The PX-240A 3-in-1 CD-RW drive delivers lightening fast CD recording speeds of 52X CD-R and 32X CD-RW, as well as 52X CD-ROM playback, with broad-base CD media compatibility.
The drive features a 2MB buffer and Buffer Underrun Proof Technology to prevent buffer underrun errors and allow multi-tasking. High-quality Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) eliminates pops, clicks, and hisses for superior sound quality. The PX-240A also supports Ultra DMA-2 for fast data transfer, and S/PDIF connector for digital audio equipment.
For easy connectivity with personal computers running the Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista operating systems, the new internal Plextor drive features an E-IDE ATAPI interface. "Both our consumer and OEM customers have been asking for a rock solid burner that can deliver the highest quality CD recordings with the fastest performance," said Michael Arbisi, vice president of channel sales for Plextor.
He added: "By removing the DVD functionality, which lots of people don’t need or want, we were able to lower the price of the PX-240A drive to $59.00, which is a great value when you consider that the drive supports Windows Vista and includes the latest version of Roxio Easy Media Creator. This should be the only burner a user will ever need to get the job of recording CDs done right the first time."
The drives has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $59.00 USD.
