With good BD drives like the Pioneer BDR-203BK not having fallen in price, the Plextor PX-B940SA finds itself hitting the market at a, relatively speaking, attractive price point. You probably won’t be able to use its twelve-speed capabilities to the ...
Write speed faster that available media, Great software suite, Plays and Burns Bluray discs,
