what to get: Plextor 32X/12X/10X or Plextor 32X/8X/4X

one is $85 more..... is it worth the price jump?
give me your reasons on why it is or isnt, thanks

 

[JaiKnight]

Not sure, but the BURN-Proof feature of the 12/10/32 might be worth the price itself if you want to protect yourself from coasters...

EDIT: That and the added 12x of course, cds in 6 minutes 🙂

 

[aUt0eXebat]

the speed factor is a good reason to get the 12/10/32.
but what is Burn-proof? what exactly does it do?

 

[Jumpem]

If your system is busy(your surfing, playing a game, or whatever) and can't send data to the burner at the moment, the burner will simply wait until data is available. Instead of just making a coaster since it couldn't stop.

EDIT: At Buy.com it is $248, but with a $30 coupon it becomes $218.

I think I will go with the 32/12/10...
But I dont get a free 10pack of CD-R's with this one, like I would of if I bought the 32/8/4. Oh well...:frown:

 

[TheNemesis]

cdrs are cheap as hell! about 33 cents a peice is what i payed for mine 🙂 no big loss, good choice and have fun

 

[ForeverSilky]

I just got a hundred pack of cdr's from compusa for $20.

[urbantechie]

Get the 12/10/32. It's real nice.

UTPK RV1?

 

[bonkers325]

no doubt 12x plextor 🙂

 

[SCSIfreek]

Free Bump for the Plextor 12x!
If you have a cheap SCSI card ---> go with the 12/10/32 SCSI version. Burn Baby Burn.

Get the 12x,
no more bad burns due to burn underproof

 

[dcdomain]

12x definately. And as for CDR's... if you want to pick up some good quality cheap cdr's (especially 80min. ones) go to Outpost.com... they have 50 packs of Kingston Hypermedia 80 min. cdr's for around 14 bucks... maybe 15 for the 12x ones. I've already bought a couple of spindles from them.

 

[glen]

Can anyone explain what or where a coupon is?

You can find it here by clicking on coupons or scrolling down and looking on the right hand side of the page.
