I should be receiving a Plextor 760A tomorrow. It will be replacing a BenQ 1640 drive (Gonna keep the 1640 as a spare for either my laptop/desktop. I still have the Plextor 740UF case that I took it out of.) When the 760 arrives, I'll be moving my LiteOn 160P6S from Master to Slave, and install my 760A as Master. I have 3 questions: 1) What firmware do 760A users recommend for optimal burns on YUDEN000 T02 media with this drive? 2) Also, what are the main advantages of the "Free your Plextor" firmwares. (See this thread: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=199281) This will be my first true Plextor, so, I don't kow how it did or didn't interact with "free software." 3) How much more useful is PlexTools Pro XL over the "non-XL" PlexTools Pro that come with the drive? Is it worth the upgrade cost? Any and all input will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, in advance ladies and gents...
Got the Plextor 760A for $49.99 AR with free shipping on Buy.com Here's a scan of YUDEN000T02 (Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD+R white inkjet hub printable)burned at 8X on this drive:
I do have the 760A but is still in the box,i'm keeping it till i replace my actual IDE hard disk by a SATA one,then the free IDE will go to the 760A.Now i'm using an Asus DVD-ROM drive,one LG 4167B and one BenQ DW1650. Vincent.
