Reviews of the Plextor PX-608CU

CNET Review
The Good: Bus-powered; the Plextor PX-608CU DVD burner comes with an AC adapter for laptops that can't provide enough power; bundled with backup software; slim format.
The Bad: No support for Macs; slow rip/burn speeds considering where the burner market is currently; expensive.
The Bottom Line: The Plextor PX-608CU portable DVD burner is a great match for users who have a laptop without a built-in DVD burner; we just don't know who that might be.
