Firmware upgrades should _not_ be dependant on any specific OS, they should always run from a DOS command or require to be written to the drive as a part of the software that runs the device. What I mean is the firmware should either be held in the device, or loaded as needed when the device is called.
Two reasons I'll never use or recommend Plextor drives: 1.) Price. They don't do anything cheaper units don't to the best of my knowledge; 2.) Overly complicated (obviously) firmware updates. Yet I know people that swear by Plextor. I'm all out of ideas and as usual pressed for time so I'll end with a question. (Watch for word wrap!)
