You can take this information for what it is worth. I recently had a new computer built Duo Core 2, 2.4 GHZ, 3 Gigs of ram, XP and two Plextor 810SA 16X Sata Burners. I spent about an hour on the phone with a senior tech at Plextor today. It seems that they were unaware that these new burners had any problems (right). We tried everything he could think of to get these burners to write to DVD-R Verbatim discs. They work with Verbatim DVD+R discs but after an hour I ended up with a complaint number and they still will not write to DVD-R.
I also did a burn test between my old computer P4, 2.8 GHZ, 3 Gigs of ram, XP, 1 Pioneer D110 IDE 16X Burner and 1 Plextor 760A IDE 16X Burner against the new one above. I burned the same movie using the same settings on both for AnyDvd and CloneDvd2, recent updates.
It took my new computer 16 minutes from start to finish, my old computer did it in 11 minutes. If SATA is the future of burners then Plextor needs to remove the big words printed on the box Turbo Charged, I thing they are going backwards not forward.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on any other brands of SATA burners, Plextor is not ready yet.
