The PLEXERASER takes about three minutes to destroy a CD or single layer DVD. As you might imagine, it takes twice as long to destroy a double layer disc. And no, the PLEXERASER cannot be used to record discs, only destroy them.
Plextor Japan plans to ship the PLEXERASER PX-OE100E in mid September for about 25,000 Yen ($218US). No word yet on whether or not it will make its way to the US. As we find out more, we'll let you know. In the mean time, more information can be found on Plextor's website.
