What are the advantages of the Plextor (12x10x) vs. other brands like Creative?

Like the title says. Is the Plextor more reliable? The Creative drive (same speed specs of course) has BURN-Proof too. A little late for me to change drives but good to know.

There is no advantage. Some people will say support but plextor's support isnt going to win any awards.

well .. theres reputation .....

plextor is known for making the best drives on the market ....

creative is known for making sound cards ....


who would you buy your cdr from ??

No offense against creative ... but if they are around the same price ... why not get the plextor ... their Support staff may not be great ... but their hardware has won many awards ... perhaps they are a bit cocky thinking that they think they dont even need a helpfull support team ...

also ... arent the Creative drives remarked Sanyo drives ... and isnt sanyo the one that originally developed the burn-proof technology ??

also.... i know the plextor drive is fully compatible with clonecd and other packet writting software .... is the Creative Labs CDRW capable of that ??? because if not ... then the plex is far superior
