Ok im in the market for a dvd burner this will be my 1st & i want top of the line or near top. I own 6-7 plextor cd-rw drive so i like them but i see the sony 530A with a firmware update is faster then plextor. So im looking at that also plextor has a new 12x on its plate the 712SA . Should i wait till may for this drive its SATA. I have waited 2 months now what 2 more.
