Buyer Reviews :
Received the Plextor 40-12-40 today. Installation went like a breeze. Drive was immediately recognized by W98SE. Documentation is outstanding! Ships with CD Creator 5 (Basic) which is so crippled it's worthless. Upgrade to Platinum costs [more]. Also comes with Plextor Manager program which is much better.
Now the 'good' part. Drive rips to .wav at about 11x MAX. Of course, it takes another 1.5-1.75 minutes to convert a track to MP3, so 40x claim, or even 20x, is of no value what-so-ever. The replaced drive (Yamaha 24x) burned a 74min CD-R in 4:55. This Plextor 40x burned the same CD in 14:45 using the supplied CD Creator 5.0 Basic! Almost 15 minutes for a drive that's supposed to burn Audio CD at least 10x-24x. Using AudioGrabber for ripping was pathetic (1.8x) and WinRip topped at 3.0. So, in short, the drive only rips to .WAV at max 11.0x and then only with the supplied crippled CD Creator 5 Basic. Now I need to send this back and incur the hassle and the shipping expenses. I am thoroughly unhappy with this product.
