an official statement from Plextor was last year, that never come EFM- Encoding with an Plextor- Writer, published on
www.brennmeister.com, they should burn data, not copyprotected software. I think it was a headshot for plextor, my next drive would be from another manufacturer, now i still have the 1210 scsi with the 1.05 firmware and an 40x Ultraplex, a SD2.60 is no problem. many of my buddys will buy another one, when their plextor is damaged. i think not the velocity is important, 40x, 52x, it doesn't care, anyone really need this?
