Plextor PX-708UF - Computeractive - product reviews you can trust
The PX-708UF is visually identical and has the same USB 2 and FireWire connections...While the PX-708UF can't handle DVD-RAM (no great loss, in our opinion), it can read and write everything else, and twice as fast as the PX-504UF...For the record, the Plextor can write to DVD+R at eight-speed, DVD-R at four-speed and CD-R at 40-speed...

Plextor PX-708UF review | Expert Reviews
The models we looked at were the PX-708UF from Plextor, and Teac's even more catchily named DV-W50D-PUK...One factor that has held back many people back from buying DVD writers is that, at the moment, there are two main competing standards for writing data on to a DVD disc...Overall, though, there's little to tell between these two drives...
