2.0 out of 5 stars Shoddy CD loader., January 12, 2006
This review is from: Plextor PX-716AL - DVDRW (R DL) drive - IDE ( PX-716AL/SW ) (Personal Computers)
I was a bit apprehensive about getting a trayless DVD drive but I thought Plextor had a decent reputation. After the first few DVDs, the drive broke. It is no longer possible to load a DVD. I would not recommend buying this drive. If you are dead set on the Plextor 716 get the one with the tray loading.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Plextor product that is a Big Disappointment, May 10, 2007

This review is from: Plextor PX-716AL - DVDRW (R DL) drive - IDE ( PX-716AL/SW ) (Personal Computers)
I bought this drive from Tigerdirect.ca. I wasn't able to return it since I brought it with me to Calgary right away. At that time, I just trusted the Plextor brand name (wow! 16MB buffer!). I was wrong about the Plextor brand. This drive is simply a big disappointment. It could not even create a backup disk of the Roxio and other software that came with it. When I tried to backup my hard drive to a Verbatim DVD-R disk, it could not write to it saying it was read only. When I tested burning to the Pioneer DVD writer, the backup went smooth. When I tried writing to a Philips DVD+RDL disk, it froze my computer. I tested the Philips DVD+RDL on my Sony drive and the copy was flawless. I bought this Plextor drive for about $190.00Cdn plus 15% tax. I have since set it aside. The lesson: Even Plextor sells substandard products. My advice: This Plextor product does not deliver and is NOT recommended. The cheaper Pioneer and Sony drives have proven to be the more reliable and they DO deliver.
