When you have a Plextor drive with Plextols or PxInfo 1.25 there is a feature which shows you the time a drive has been used to burn.
You will have to look at Plextor Info Utility or in Plextools' Email Plextor.
You will find a line something like this:
ID0 (H) Plextor DVDR PX760A V### TLA#### (S/N######) (##.##.##X-##.##.##X)
now # means a number a X a Letter.
How to read this information:
First there is the ID and driveletter with model number and the Firmware Version number (V###) and then TLA number (TLA####) followed by the Serial Number of the drive. Now the information about the time is the one following after the Serial number.
The first one shows the burning time of CD-Rs and the second of DVDs.
If it says 10.10.56A-12.45.30A then this means 10hrs10min56s for CD-R and 12hrs45min30s for DVD. Please note that this is only the total time which was used to burn discs and does not say how many discs have been written to.
