BURN-Proof Reliability Plextor’s reputation for maintaining the highest reliability in the industry is achieved through state of the art engineering. Plextor has now engineered BURN-Proof into the PlexWriter 24/10/40A, eliminating buffer underrun errors that occur in fast write modes. These are the errors that result in wasted “coasters”-CDs rendered unusable due to a failure during recording. BURN-Proof not only compensates for slower source drives, but also allows the PlexWriter 24/10/40A to be used for multi-task-ing. You can now do other things on your PC-like sending email, or Web surfing-while burning flawless CDs.
