Plextor heeft een nieuwe versie van PlexTools Professional uitgegeven voor de meer eisende gebruiker. De naamsaanduiding is aangepast naar PlexTools Professional XL met 3.00 als het versienummer. Dit programma is alleen te gebruiken in combinatie met een cd- of dvd-brander van Plextor en stelt je in staat om cd's te rippen, schijfjes te kopiëren en informatie weer te geven over de writable discs. De verbeterde punten zien er als volgt uit:
