The DVD-ROM drive (read only) PX-116A is available in Europe only

http://www.plextor.be/English/products/PX116A.html

It is available as OEM drive only from mail order places like newegg.com

I bought this because of Plextor's reputation and having used their CD-ROM
and CD-RW drives.

Q. Why is this not available retail in US?


I got it retail in Ireland.



Q. What is the opinion of others here about this drive?

Excellent, no complaints...the DAE is high speed and very accurate. Reads
all media i have thrown at it.
