Plextor readies super combo drive

The drive is a DVD+/- R/RW drive, which will be able to write at 8X +RW ZCLV and rewrite at 4X +RW CLV.

In addition, this smart piece of kit will also write 4X -RW CLV and rewrite 2X -RW CLV.

According to the spec, its CD-R speed will be 40X PCAV and its CD RW speed 24X PCAV.

The release poses the question as to when media makers will start selling an 8X +R disk to take advantage of all this clever stuff.

They're not telling us yet. µ
