CDRLabs have published their review of Plextor's first DVD writer. The DVD drive supports 4x DVD+R and 2.4x DVD+RW recording speeds while CD-R and CD-RW can be written at 16x and 10x. Here is a short excerpt: For the most part, the PX-504A delivered the kind of performance we've come to expect from Plextor. Thanks to its 4x DVD+R writing speeds, the drive burned DVD's in record time. The PX-504A also had some of the fastest CD read speeds we've seen on a DVD writer. In our tests, it was able to read pressed and CD-R media at 40x and CD-RW media at a respectable 32x. Plextor's new drive also did much better than I expected in our DAE tests. While 33x DAE speeds aren't exactly earth shattering, the PX-504A did not have the slow down problems we've experienced with some other DVD+R/RW drives. Unfortunately, the PX-504A's performance does have a few low points.
