To keep ahead of the competition, Plextor has continued to lead the way, introducing drives with faster writing speeds and cutting edge technologies found nowhere else.

This February, Plextor introduced its second-generation ultra-portable DVD writer, the PX-608CU. Based loosely on the Pioneer DVR-K16, this stylish and compact drive is capable of 8x DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 4x DVD±R DL and 5x DVD-RAM writing speeds and a maximum DVD read speed of 8x. Plextor has also given the PX-608CU a number of enhancements including the ability to power itself off of a computer's USB bus.
