No. Plextors used to be the best, but there was something definitely fishy about their 12 speed burner. One firmware update (1.03), the EFM encoding on that drive worked perfectly, the next (1.04, 1.05), the drive suddenly had no longer correct EFM encoding. I had the next model, a 16 speed, and mine didn't work from the beginning. There are suspicions that Plextor deliberately nerfed their firmware code to please C-Dilla. I don't recommend Plextor anymore.
