| Best older plextor drives ? Aside from the terribly expensive high end Plextors, what older models (under $100) were the best ? I'm doing only music using an older OS. |

| Re: Best older plextor drives ? Try to find a used PlexWriter Premium in good condition if you're focused on burning audio CDs. |

| What about for ripping audio CD's only? Is the premium overkill? |

| For ripping, most of the mainstream Plextors were fine. There were a few odd drives that were mostly rebadged from other manufacturers that lacked the C2 error detection needed for accurate ripping but your best bet is to get hold of a copy of Plextools and see if your drive supports C2 error detection. For burning I would look at the Premium, Premium2, PX712, PX716, PX755 or PX760 as these all have error checking facilities. James.
