Plextor stopped making drives several years ago and fired all related technical employees. They now sell relabelled drives from other manufacturers.

Any bands (plextor?) to avoid on gentoo? Instead of recommending what I have, I'll recommend what disc burning lunatics recommend (the folks from cdfreaks.com for example): The LG LS GH20LS15 is an excellent burner with very good write quality (read: your discs will live longer). It's a CD/DVD+R/DVD-R/Dual Layer combo burner. It's also very cheap (16 bucks here; that is Euros). It's a SATA drive. If you can't find the exact model, any LG model with "GH20" in the name will do. Make sure NOT to get a "GH22" model (like GH22LS30). Those have poor write quality due to a different chipset that doesn't perform well.
