Plextor, a company known for their ludicrously fast, and astonishingly high quality SCSI CD-RW drivers is at it again. This time not only do they build an extremely fast CD-RW drive (12x10x32x to be precise), but they do it in a format that is accessible to almost all people, IDE. Finally, by implementing a new technology known as BURN-Proof (licensed from Sanyo) Plextor hopes to finally eliminate bad recordings commonly called "coasters" or "frisbees" due to buffer under-run.
