Product Description
The Lite-On SOHW-1693S-BULK is an internal optical drive designed for desktop computers, offering versatile functionality for burning and reading CDs and DVDs. This drive supports a wide range of formats, including DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and crucially, DVD+R Double Layer (DL) and DVD-R Double Layer (DL) media. The double-layer capability allows users to store significantly more data on a single disc, up to 8.5GB, compared to standard single-layer discs. With impressive write speeds, the SOHW-1693S can burn a full DVD+R or DVD-R disc in approximately 5-6 minutes. It also offers respectable rewrite speeds for DVD+RW and DVD-RW media. For CD operations, it provides a fast 48x read speed and can burn CDs at up to 48x speed. The drive utilizes the standard IDE/ATAPI interface, ensuring compatibility with a vast majority of desktop motherboards manufactured over the past decade. This drive is ideal for users who need to create backups, archive data, burn video DVDs, or install software from optical media. Its reliability and performance make it a solid choice for multimedia tasks and data management. The 'BULK' designation typically indicates that the drive is sold without retail packaging, often intended for system integrators or as a replacement part.
