Plextor (styled PLEXTOR) (Chinese: 浦科特; Japanese: プレクスター) is a Taiwanese (formerly Japanese) consumer electronics brand, best known for solid-state drives and optical disc drives.

[citation needed] Therefore, all the Plextor products since then, especially SSDs, are of a Taiwanese, not a Japanese brand.

On September 3, 2019, it was announced Lite-On would sell its SSD business to Toshiba Memory, which is now known as Kioxia.

In December 2011 and January 2012, Plextor released the M3 and M3 Pro Series in 64 to 512 GB capacities.

This functionality includes extended surface error scanning,[4] GigaRec (higher density recording on CDs, similar to the DDCD "Purple Book" standard), VariRec (laser power calibration), and "Silent Mode", which has the ability to adjust the ejection and loading speed of the disc tray and to limit the rotation speed of the disc.
