CD Freaks reviewed the latest DVD burner from Plextor, the PX-755A.What makes this drive stand out is its 10x writing speed for DVD+R Double layer media, giving Plextor a lead over many other DVD writers with this media. This drive also features 16x DVD+R, 6x DVD-R DL, 8x DVD+RW and 6x DVD-RW write speeds. Like Plextor's other professional drives, this drive also features PowerRec for optimised writing speed, SecureRecording for creating password protected discs and PlexEraser for permanently destroying unwanted CD-R and DVD+R content.

The main positive points:
- The Plextor PX-755A can write most DVD+R with very good quality. PoweRec and Auto Strategy assured the best results possible over our large range of tested media.
- CD-R/RW write quality was also very good, the Plextor PX-755A handling some troublesome media with ease. CD-R/RW media compatibility was also very good.
- The supplied software is also of very good quality, with PlexTools Professional supplied with the drive. Also included is the ever popular Nero suite, and Pinnacle suite 8.3 LE. This should provide enough software for the beginner and the more advanced user. There are also trial versions of many other software packages, which will allow the end user a chance to try out software before they buy it.
- The Plextor PX-755A also runs quiet and cool. This could be important if the drive was used in the main living area or bedroom, and running cool could become important if the drive was to be used in a hot climate or cramped PC case.
- The build quality of the Plextor PX-755A is of a very high standard, the media tray being very smooth in operation, and the drive itself feeling very well built.
- The media testing capabilities of the Plextor PX-755A is second to none, with PlexTools Professional/XL providing the most sophisticated media tests yet seen on a home user drive.
- Last but by no means least. The 2 year collect and return warranty (within the EU) is the best around.

The main negative points:
- Some work is required to improve DVD+R DL write quality with certain DVD+R DL media.
- The Plextor PX-755A performed very poorly in our "Sheep tests". Let us hope this can be improved with a firmware update.
- Although the drive is said to be able to over-burn DVD+R media, all our endeavours to over-burn this media type were not successful.
