Plextor PlexWriter PX-708A

October 1st, 2003 | by Ian Bell

In our transfer rate tests it was clear that the PX-708A had a significant advantage over the TDK 440i and Plextor PX-504A nearly doubling the speed of the other two drives. But when it came to our writing and reading tests, the PX-708A just barely held an edge over the competition.

On the smaller size files the PX-708A was only slightly faster, but on the larger files and directories, the PX-708A showed its true performance difference.

System Configurations:

Windows XP Pro; AMD Athlon 1700+; Abit AT7 Max 2 motherboard; 512MB DDR SDRAM 333MHz; PNY GeforceFX 500 video adapter.
