Plextor Europe sent out a press release this morning, announcing the PX-DB608AL. This new new space-saving solution takes two slim drives and fits them into a single 5.25" drive bay.
Proving that two-into-one does go, Plextor announces the first space-saving Slim line optical drive solution for desktop PCs. The compact 'dual-bay' Plextor PX-DB600 enables two optical slim line drives to be positioned into the space of just one 5.25" drive bay - making it ideal for lifestyle chassis and small form factor Media Center PCs.
Developed from their extensive experience in laptop opticals, the dual-layer multi-format (DVD+/-R and DVD-RAM) Plextor PX-608AL and the dual bay PX-DB600 (combined as the PX-DB608AL) enables greater flexibility and convenience for 'small footprint' PC-owners. For example, users can watch a DVD movie while burning other media to disc, and copy discs directly without saving to the hard disk first.
Take note that the PX-DB608AL includes only one PX-608AL. If you'd like the dual configuration, you will need to pick up a second PX-608AL or some other slim line optical drive. No word on price yet, but our European readers can expect to see the PX-DB608AL on store shelves some time in April. More information is available on Plextor Europe's website.
