PX-320A combo drive - and it works a treat!

So far, I've been impressed by the following features:

a) different coloured LED lights depending on whether you insert a CD or a DVD disc in;
b) absolutely no noise wheh playing DVD movies;
c) extremely fast audio ripping with small CPU usage;

OK, that's not much, but cosidering I just had a seperate LG DVD drive and TEAC CD_RW (which conked out half a year after I got it), it's a refreshing difference. Next time you get a CD/DVD drive of a kind, get Plextor!!!

Well, after Christmas my computer will be a super model compared to yours. I bought the combo drive for a reason - so I can use it in my SS51G. With changeable faceplates! Just like a mobile phone.

It's only for the DVD/CD-RW combo. When a DVD is inseted, the LED (first one) turns amber and stays on, and green for CD. The second LED indicates whether it is reading or writing to the disc. Not bad, eh?
