From professionals and enthusiasts, through to anyone looking for a stylish addition or upgrade to their home/office set-up, the PX-810UF offers the ideal solution. It features Plextor’s legendary quality and reliability in a robust matt black external unit. Fully compatible with Microsoft Vista and the latest Mac OS, it is perfect for the Mac community - including designers, agencies, marketing teams and any small office or home/SOHO users.
No word on price yet. However, the PX-810UF is scheduled to ship in July 2007. More information is available on Plextor's website.
