Plextor PX-B940SA Internal 12X BD Writer
Jan 20th, 2010 | By SimonThe PX-B940SA is packaged in a bright blue box. On the front of the package we have a picture of the drive and a box clearly indicating the maximum BD and DVD write speed, 12X and 16X respectively. The back of the box lists additional specifications as well as the box contents and system requirements.

The sides of the package break down some of the available features: creating and enjoying Blu-ray media.

The top of the box has another picture of the drive but also a full breakdown of the drive speed: 12X BD-R SL/DL, 2X BD-RE SL/DL, 12X DVD+/-R, 5X DVD-RAM, 8X DVD+RW, 6X DVD-RW, 40X CD-R, 24X CD-RW, 8X BD Read, 16X DVD Read, 40X CD Read.

Cracking open the retail package we have a well protected optical drive and a bag of accessories: drive manual, SATA cable, mounting screws and CyberLink BD Suit on DVD.

The drive itself is very basic in design. On the top we have a sticker with all the appropriate warning labels for the laser, serial number and manufacturing data. The bottom and side have nothing of real interest. On the back we have the SATA data and power cable slots. On the front we have the tray, emergency eject button, Power/Activity LED and eject button.
