Product Description
The Lite-On SOHW-1653S-09 is an internal DVD+/-RW drive that provides robust capabilities for optical media burning, with a particular emphasis on support for double-layer discs. It offers a maximum write speed of 16x for single-layer DVD+R and DVD-R media, allowing for quick creation of DVDs. Crucially, it also supports writing to double-layer DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL discs at up to 8x speeds, enabling users to store significantly more data (up to 8.5GB) on a single disc, ideal for large backups or high-definition video content. This drive utilizes the IDE (PATA) interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of desktop computers, including older systems that may not have SATA ports. The internal form factor allows for easy installation into a standard 5.25-inch drive bay. In addition to DVD formats, it supports DVD+RW rewriting at 8x and DVD-RW rewriting at 6x, along with standard CD-R writing at 48x and CD-RW rewriting at 32x, making it a versatile optical drive solution. Lite-On's Buffer Under Run Proof Technology is integrated into the SOHW-1653S-09 to minimize the risk of writing errors, ensuring reliable disc creation even when operating at high speeds. This drive is a practical choice for users who need to burn large amounts of data, create video DVDs, or archive files, especially on systems equipped with an IDE interface.
