Reviews of the Plextor PX-740UF
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Plextor PX-740UF provides excellent overall performance, supports FireWire and USB connectivity, and ships with an OEM version of Nero's excellent software suite.
The Bad: The PX-740UF is expensive, and its support options are limited: phone support is available only on weekdays, and the company's Web site lacks options such as live chat and user forums.
The Bottom Line: The Plextor PX-740UF is a sturdy drive that performs beautifully, but it's expensive.
