Can anyone recommend a decent internal (True) Plextor cd/dvd burner in a $150.00 budget range? Thanks for any advice 
The true Plextor drives are no longer in production. The last true Plextor drives were the 755 and the 760.
I read that elsewhere also Thanks. what’s considered some of the good brands/models that are available to choose from now anyone? I know I’ve owned some units that had problems where they rejected +R Discs when trying to burn sure don’t want another like that. 
Thanks for all suggestions! 
If you are looking for burn quality without fuss, you need to be looking at the Pioneer 117/217 series, if you can still find them, or the Optiarc 7200 or 7240 series drives.
Don’t get fooled into buying a newer Plextor drive, as the are just Optiarc or Lite-On rebadged drives, for twice the price. The newer Pioneer drives (118 series) are also rebadged.
shame on PLEXTOR
PLEXTOR drives are lottery.
