The Plextors will cause an application hang if you look into your event viewer in Windows Computer Management console. Sometimes I cannot even shut down Windows normally I must do a hard shutdown. The shutdown process will get as far as the screen that says "Windows Is Shutting Down...." and hang there and I have to manually shutdown.

Just a note on the firmware indicated by Hoster on the Plextor Premium it IS 1.07 NOT 1.09. But Plextors website says its latest is v1.06 but if I attempt to upgrade with v1.06 it prompts me that I have a later version of firmware. I am sure this firmware (v1.07) came from their site ..it is the only location I have ever used for firmware updates on my Plextor drives in the last four or five years that I have used their drives.
I have another question about the supported drives listing for Hoster. I notice that some of the drives are listed with an asterisk next to the model #'s but I don't see an explanation for the asterisk anywhere on the listings. Just curious??
