You will be very happy with this...
Strengths: GREAT speed in burning all media, no coasters yet!
Weakness: MAJOR issues with READING....don't even TRY using dvd decrypter with it to READ. WRITES fine.
You will be very happy with this product all in all as long as it is strictly a burner. Make sure you have a 2nd drive to do all your cd/dvd reading and you'll be very impressed with this. I'm still a little disappointed in the customer service NOT acknowledging the read issue.

WTF happened?
Strengths: Good speed and firmware upgrades.
Weakness: Dead for the 2nd time...

My Lite-On 4x burner still works!
Sad I had such a bad experience with it.

THEY SAY YOU HAVE DEFACED THE DRIVE AND ALTERED IT. They will not service the drive that is the...

Strengths: Speed, Compatability
Weakness: I have 2 one crashed at 10 months.
I've had 2 of the 716A Plextor dives now for about 10 months. All worked well until now. The installation was a snap, plug and play at it's best. Worked well even with XP's own DVD and CD burning capabilities. At ten months my one drive quit reading any disks at all and was giving I/O errors. Upon emailing Plextor I received a reply in under 24 hours. By far the best response that I have ever...

I have copied every movie I have...
Strengths: This burns at speeds and never ruins a disk.
Weakness: None that I can see except it come with more software. I always like free software.
I have copied every movie I have in my collection and It dosen't even seem to be working this burner. I have used several other brands and none compare to this 16x or my 8x plextor. I never bought there products before because the price was to high. But after using to many disc with the memorex brand dvd burner. I figured I would save money if this burner would just copy like it is supposed to do...
