The PX-800A is a NEC-Sony Optiarc rebadge. The 760A and 755A are true Sanyo-chipset Plextor made drives.

For new retail Plextor 755SA try this site: http://www.infotechnow.com/shop/shop...=68&pr_no=2951

The web page shows 716SA. If you order, you will get a 755SA. It happened to me. They may have 2 or 3 left.

No PX-760A drives. Only the non-premium 740 and 750: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...furbished&mnf=

Same drive as BenQ DW1640.

If you want a Plextor, buy 760, 716, and/or 755 ONLY. NO MORE OR LESS.

The PX-740 is a BenQ DW 1640 re-badge , as geekrule noted. They are fine drives (I have 3 crossflashed to EW 164B w/BEGB external firmware) but are not "Premium" Plextors capable of scanning with PlexTools software and using other Plextor features.

Yeah!!!

Finally got my brand new Plextor 760A today!!
Got this one over e-tec.at for 92 Euro.

This must have been the very last 760A sold here in Austria... haven't seen any other Austrian vendors selling them for months. Two weeks ago it magically appeared on e-tecs webshop, and when I ordered the Plexy it disappeared from e-tec's webshop...

Manufacturing Date: September 2006

Very very happy being able to add the last true Plextor DVD burner to my collection

Scans will follow very soon of course...

I just got a 760A off Ebay, supposedly unused (we will see). I wish I had seen the Microcenter link, cause I didn't pay much less than that...

Also Fry's near me has a huge amount of 750s in brown boxes on their shelf.
