Plextor announced that it received a CNET Editors' Choice award for its PX-712A DVD+/-R/RW drive

The coveted CNET Editors' Choice award recognizes outstanding computing and electronics products that CNET Editors have determined represent the highest quality, design, and service to users, and its logo is a hallmark of good product design, performance, and quality.

CNET Editors' Choice winners are recognized as top products in their respective technology categories, and contribute to the standard by which all future products are judged. A key selection requirement is the difference it makes in the lives of its users, whether through innovative features, exceptional value for the price, remarkable ease of use, or a demonstrable boost to users' productivity.

According to the CNET review of the PX-712A, "This Plextor drive has it all: great performance, ample documentation, and loads of software. Plextor's reputation for building fast, versatile drives continues with the PX-712A. It's not only a champ for its speed at reading and writing DVDs, it's also the only burner that can shoehorn more than 200MB of extra data on an ordinary CD."

"We are very excited about this honor from CNET as their Editors' Choice award has become the hallmark of technology quality and innovation, and its logo is a symbol consumers know and trust," said Howard Wing, vice president of sales and marketing for Plextor. "This is an exceptional achievement and we are very proud to be recognized for our dedication and commitment to producing the highest quality CD/DVD burners available today."
