6 Comments on Plextor Announces PX-LB950UE External 12X Blu-Ray Writer with USB 3.0 & eSATA Support
I thought at first that the USB 3.0 interface was a gimmick and that USB 2.0 would suffice, but I was amazed to find that 12X Blu-ray requires 432Mb/s (54MB/s). That's faster than some 5400rpm laptop drives!
I used to have Plextor CD Burner I really liked. I guess $239 isn't too bad for this Blu-Ray burner, especially with USB 3.0 and E-SATA support. Although I (we) could do it with USB 2.0 for ~$150 by combining a drive with an enclosure. Plextor has always had a "Plextor Tax", but this doesn't seem to bad.
