A missed beat
Strengths: Plextor is a strong, trustworhty brand of long-lived components.
Weakness: This drive (PX-850a) will not work with the Intel 850 (go figure) chipset.
I ordered this drive to complete a custom-built system for a relative, who respects Plextor very highly. Even though it costs twice as much as LG or Lite-On, I expected it to be well worth the price. While I still believe this will be so, this drive will not work properly with the Intel 850 chipset. This is not the first component (from any manufacturer) to not function with the i850.
