Compare the firmware.

Plextor:

The Plextor 1.07 firmware is a 444 KB download, while the TDK 1.07 is 441 KB. Plextor's is dated 11-22 and TDK's is dated 11-27. The downloads are identically packaged executables that will automatically flash the firmware on the drive when run.
I ordered a TDK from Megahaus yesterday, but they are backordered until about the middle of next week. When I get it, I'll try flashing the Plextor firmware and see what happens.
