Plextor will announce soon a new CD-RW drive with the codename PX-W2410U. Actually it’s not a new drive, but an external version of the well known 'PX-W2410A' - with USB 1.1/2.0 interface. The drive is expected to ship around middle of December at the price of $206. The external box uses AC adapter of 100-240V, which means that can be used worldwide. It’s not clear yet if the drive will ship only at Japan (or worldwide) but soon we will find out. :-) NULL
