Plextor Exits CD DVD Market
 

From: http://wesleytech.com/plextor-exits-cd-dvd-markets/

Shinanokenshi (the parent company of Plextor) has decided to exit the market for consumer CD and DVD products. The Plextor brand name will remain for industry use products and digital playback units for the visually impaired. Shinanokenshi has announced that their optical drive operations will be reduced to 10% of its peak capacity. These actions will also lead to reduced

workforce at Shinanokenshi. Shinanokenshi cites increased competition from Taiwanese and Korean manufacturers, increased pricing competition and slumping profit margins as reasons for exiting the ODD (Optical Disk Drive) business.

Plextor entered the CD drive market in 1990 and has produced some of the top optical disk drives over the years. Their slogan “King of Quality” illustrated their goals for producing superior quality ODD products. Plextor drives and software have introduced innovative features and groundbreaking tools to the market over the years. Their custom software suite PlexTools introduced consumers to many new tools and utilities that were highly utilized by optical drive enthusiasts. The source article can be found at shimai.co.jp in Japanese.

A large computer chain in Japan also recently reported that Plextor has informed them that there will be no more shipments of the PX-755A or the PX-760A DVD burners. The drives should still be available in some retail stores, but once they sell out, they’re gone. Any Plextor fans out there that may want another drive should probably buy one right now, while they are still available from retail outlets.

Ian from CDRLabs.com also states, “we have not heard anything from Plextor’s American or European subsidiaries yet. It’s possible that they may remain in the optical drive business by rebadging drives or focusing on Blu-ray but at this point, we’ll have to wait and see.”

不知是真的還假的丫??

PLEXTOR要退出光碟市場了.....

哀.....

果然還是撐不住壓..............

可以趁最後幾個月趕快採購了！畢竟好的機子難求

光碟越來越不景氣了
Plextor請好走...
續BENQ後又一家大廠不玩了
硬碟/記憶卡越賣越便宜,2GB還千元有找
說不定藍光跟HDDVD哪天也會步上DVD的後塵...

如果現在要買一台回來藏的話
該買哪個型號?760A??

尚未停產的內接大概只有755跟760可以選.......

不過停產的712才是王道..... :D

712a沒那麼好
別神話他
我測過
其實差不了多少~~

如果真要選的話，市面上店售選760會比755還好......

不過這兩台基本上都還比不上712跟716......

甚至B900A的評價都比這目前這兩台店頭機來得好...... :laugh:

除非真的很想收藏，否則乾脆入一台B900A.... :D
