Plextor managed to surprise us one more time. This time they made a drive that's better equipped than every burner that exists out there currently. The most impressive features are the BURN-Proof and HS RW standards that promise to deliver the best performance someone can get from his drive.

Back to the drive's capabilities the drive performed very good in most of our tests. The drive has good data and DAE reading speeds (improved over previous PX-W124TS model). Writing CD's in 12x and re-writing them at 10x is the best thing you can buy today. The new PX-W1210A can also be used for backing up your data (packet writing) since it's now 2.5x times faster than all other drives that supports the previous 1x-4x RW writing speeds. If you are looking for a new drive don't look anywhere else. At this moment, his is the best solution for your needs.
