MoboMaker liet ons weten dat Hot Hardware vandaag een review online heeft geslingerd van de bekende 24x brander van Plextor. Na een korte introductie wordt de CD-RW in een aantal verschillende benchmarks vergeleken met de 16/10/40-versie. De uitkomsten waren genoeg om de Hot Hardware 'Heat-Meter' de maximale score van 10 aan te laten geven:
This overview and assessment of Plextor's latest Flagship CD-RW drive, almost seems like a repeat. As was the case when we first tested their 16/10/40A drive, we were more than impressed with the performance and quality of Plextor's new 24/10/40A. Throughout testing, the drive exceeded our expectations on every level, from simple reads, to DAE to doing what it does best, burning CD-Rs at blinding speed. During our testing we used a variety of media from 12X ready CD-Rs to 24X compatible discs from PNY. Never once were we given the gift of coaster. Not only were we coaster-less throughout testing but we even stressed the machine now and then by firing up an email client or word processing application. Burn Proof held true to form, allowing us decent control over the system even though heavily taxed in the middle of a write session.
