Plextor LLC sent out a press release this morning, announcing their new Serial ATA
equipped "Super Multi" drive, the TurboPlex PX-810SA. Along with support for Serial ATA, the PX-810SA features 18x DVD±R, 10x DVD±R DL
and 12x DVD-RAM writing speeds.
Plextor LLC,
a leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance digital media equipment, today announced the immediate availability of the
TurboPlex PX-810SA DVD Super Multi Drive. The new model addresses growing customer demands for DVD burners that support Serial ATA, the
evolutionary replacement for the Parallel ATA physical storage interface. The PX-810SA also includes a new bundle of value-added software
applications for tasks such as data backup, video editing, and DVD authoring.
OEMs, VARs, integrators, and consumers all gain
benefits from Serial ATA technology. End users enjoy fast 150 MB/sec data transfer rates. The interface supports one device per
controller connection, eliminating master/slave configuration jumper issues for installers. SATA also provides a substantial pin count
reduction from Parallel ATA, while thinner cables help air-flow and improve cable routing—big pluses for OEMs and integrators.
The PX-810SA is scheduled to ship at the end of this month for a suggested retail price of $89.00. More information can be
