Plextor PX-W121032 -OR- PX 241040A?

[bitrate]

Everywhere I look around the internet I see the PX 241040A being recommended as the best. I'm going to get one because I want to be able to do everything, I've currently got a crappy external FREECOM rw that only works when it wants to.

I just want to check...is this the drive everyone's talking about...it's just that they call it a PX-W2410TA on the page...? ####://www.dabs.com/products/prod-info3-info.asp?&m=y&quicklinx=Z3R

Also, (I'm sure this has been asked 1000 times already ) what software should I get for psx and PC game backups?

Thanks for any help
