Description

The Lite-On SOHW-1693S-01C is a versatile internal DVD writer designed to meet the demands of both home users and professionals for optical media creation and playback. It supports the "DVD-Dual" standard, meaning it can write to both DVD+R/+RW and DVD-R/-RW formats, offering maximum compatibility with different types of blank media. With impressive write speeds of up to 16x for single-layer DVDs, users can quickly burn full discs in just a few minutes. Beyond its DVD writing capabilities, this drive also excels at CD burning, offering up to 48x write speeds for CD-R and 32x for CD-RW media. It also functions as a high-speed DVD-ROM reader, capable of accessing content at up to 16x speed, and a CD-ROM reader at 48x speed. The inclusion of buffer underrun protection technology helps to ensure successful burns by preventing errors that can occur when the drive's data buffer is depleted during the writing process. Equipped with a SATA interface, the SOHW-1693S-01C ensures a fast and stable connection to the computer's motherboard, facilitating efficient data transfer during burning and reading operations. Its standard 5.25-inch form factor allows for easy installation into most desktop PC cases.
