The problem with Plextor drives are that they're atrociously overpriced (almost 2X the cheapest brands). I suggest (to the OP) a serious investment in the cheapest possible drive with a one-year warranty, something like a Liteon, Cyber or Benq(Taiwanese brands all). That way IF the drive fails after a year, you can toss it away. (P.S. my Liteon 16X is nearing the end of its first year). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
