Plextor's Plextwriter 12/10/32A is one sweet IDE CD-ReWriter. Incorporating the awesome BURN-Proof technology, extremely fast write and re-write times this CD-RW Plextor again takes home the CD-RW crown. Not to mention the great software bundle, which includes Adaptec's powerful Easy CD Creator. With a MSRP of $250, and a current street price of $230 the price is just right. If you're in the market for a fast and reliable CD-RW drive look no further than the Plextor Plexwriter 12/10/32A as it's currently one of the best out there.
