I too heard that they no longer produce their own. That worries me. Is my PLX 760A DL DVDRW a Plextor or not?

LOL thats the same drive i have! (among 45 older ones that only do cd burning)I think that when i bought this drive initially i was a little disappointed because i was using a No name EMPREX (bought for $%) @ local FRY'S) & didn't notice any real upgrade over that!

ripxrush, there normal drives not HD/Blu Ray are Pioneer drives with NEC chipsets. I'm sure Plextor is jobbing theses drives out to but i haven't heard any info yet on who's making them.


rayals, yes the PX-760A you have is a true Plextor, matter of fact its the last true Plextor drive made.

heres a screen shot to prove there Pioneer drives from anydvd , my PX-810SA sata drive

That is a relief to know. I also checked my drive using AnyDvd and you are correct. Mine does not say Pioneer or anything else. I purchased it last year from Tiger for something like $80 with a $30 rebate. It was a great deal. Thank You for your reply.
