Plextor Europe, one of the world's leading manufacturers of CD-ROM drives, CD-ReWritable drives and CD media, is proud to present its latest product: the PlexWriter 40/12/40S (PX-W4012TS). The PlexWriter 40/12/40S writes at 40x, rewrites at 12x and reads at 40x, and has an Ultra SCSI interface.

The PlexWriter 40/12/40S offers a range of functions:

• BURN-Proof, PoweRec and VariRec technology
• 4 MB Buffer
• Access Time 120 ms
• Available in both white and black
• High quality digital audio extraction
• Easy firmware upgrade using FlashROM
• Comprehensive support of CD-R and CD-R/W media
