The Bottom Line	This Plextor is a fast and versatile internal drive supporting single/dual-layer DVD media--one of the best on the market today.	The Plextor PX-810SA internal CD/DVD burner is quick for both ripping and burning. We like it.	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-740UF is a sturdy drive that performs beautifully, but it's expensive.	Though double-layer burning is getting all the hype, you're still better off with a single-layer burner: this one.
