Plextors' 712-A is a dual format drive, meaning that it can read and write in both the plus and minus format. Early adopters of dvd burning technology are at a loss compared to what is available today. While single format drives continue to be high sellers, we are seeing more and more companies going mainstream with dual format drive, though Plextor is leading the pack and as far as I can see will continue to lead.
