2.5-Inch IDE DVD Burner

The Plextor PX-860A is a new internal DVD burner with a 2.5-inch form factor and an IDE / ATAPI interface. It writes DVD media at up to 20x speed and reads CDs at up to 40x. A 2 MB buffer with underrun proof technology helps prevent failed burns during system load.

Users needing IDE optical drive

This drive suits older laptops or compact desktops that still provide an IDE / ATAPI connection and a 2.5-inch bay. It is not for systems that lack an IDE header or a compatible drive bay. Buyers wanting Blu-ray read or write capability should look at a different product category.

20x DVD write speed

The maximum DVD write speed of 20x is the key figure that decides whether this burner matches the performance target for archival or media creation tasks. Read speeds reach 16x for DVD-ROM and 40x for CD-ROM. Access times are rated at 110 ms for CD and DVD and 250 ms for DVD-RAM.
