The Bottom Line Though double-layer burning is getting all the hype, you're still better off with a single-layer burner: this one. This Plextor is a fast and versatile internal drive supporting single/dual-layer DVD media--one of the best on the market today. One of the fastest DVD-rewritable drives on the market, Plextor's groundbreaking PX-708A delivers an all-around top-notch performance. The Plextor PX-810SA internal CD/DVD burner is quick for both ripping and burning. We like it.
