Description

The Lite-On SOHW-1673SU is a versatile internal optical drive designed to handle a wide range of optical media tasks. With a maximum write speed of 16x for DVD+/-R discs, it allows for relatively quick burning of data, software, or video content. A key feature is its support for DVD+R Double Layer (DL) media, enabling users to store up to 8.5GB of data on a single disc, effectively doubling the capacity of standard DVDs for larger backups or high-definition video projects. The drive also provides robust rewriting capabilities for DVD+/-RW formats, allowing for multiple write cycles on rewritable discs, which is ideal for temporary storage or frequent data updates. Furthermore, it fully supports CD-R and CD-RW media, offering maximum compatibility for older data formats, audio CDs, and smaller data backups, with CD-R write speeds up to 48x and CD-RW speeds up to 32x. Connected via an IDE (ATAPI) interface, the SOHW-1673SU is compatible with a broad spectrum of motherboards and systems. Its tray-loading mechanism ensures smooth and reliable disc insertion and ejection. This drive serves as a reliable solution for users needing to read, write, and archive data on various optical disc formats, making it suitable for multimedia tasks, data archiving, and software installation.
