Plextor doesn't manufacture their own drives any more, so like any Plextor model introduced in the last several years, it is a rebranded Lite-On drive. The OEM is Lite-On and the chipset is from MediaTek.
Therefore, expected performance is that of the most recent Lite-On drives. However, you won't fully know until you actually put this drive through some ripping tests, which no one seems to have actually done so yet. |

For this reason in recent years has decreased in the drives quality or maintaining their standard and their reputation?

It is manufacturered by Lite-On and rebranded.
They are not as desired as the old Plextor drives that they used to manufacture themselves due to this. Not much more to say really. JXL |

The Plextor PX-L890 models seem to be hopelessly faulty, having noticed the many complaints at the Plextor forum and other fora:

The PX-L890 doesn't show up on Spoon's list.

QUOTE (JunkieXL @ Apr 20 2011, 19:16) It is manufacturered by Lite-On and rebranded. They are not as desired as the old Plextor drives that they used to manufacture themselves due to this. The almost-mythical PX-230A seems to be a rebranded BenQ. At least, that's what everybody on the 'net says – and not many are able to tell you which BenQ you could buy instead, or whether the firmware makes any big difference. Anyway, searching http://www.accuraterip.com/driveoffsets.htm , there are a lot of CD-RW-drives with the same offset (+738), including the BenQ 5232X. -------------------- geocities.com/hydrogenaudio: http://goo.gl/tqYZj
