Plextor closes it's doors to CD and DVD products

Sad to see Plextor bowing out of the CD and DVD market :(

It was a high quality product at slightly higher price than mass market drives but worth every penny. I have been a very satisfied Plextor customer since 1999 when I first bought the 12/10/32A, still in service. My last was the Plextor External DVD burner 755UF bought just a couple of months ago.

Plextor will be greatly missed not just by myself but many audiophiles who really appreciated what it had to offer in terms of quality, reliability and performance.

I used exclusively Plextor drives for years until they got out of SCSI. They were late into DVD, which started the slide. In the end, I had to go with Sony for my DVD+-RW drive because Plextor was too late.

Lately, I understand a lot of their drives are rebadged drives made by someone else.

Crap...thanks for the notice.. I'll buy another Plextor drive so I can use it with Plextor Tools to rips lossless to Flac... A lot easier than using EAC.

My 716A drive died and they sent me an email they offer no service on their gear anymore now hearing this makes sense.

Too bad. I'm glad I was able to snatch a Plextor Premium when I had a chance. Thing is the best CD drive I've ever had (and I've had a few).
