Description

The Lite-On SOHW-1693S-RET-B is an internal optical drive designed for desktop computers, offering comprehensive support for CD and DVD media formats. It functions as a DVD writer, enabling users to create their own DVDs and CDs with data, videos, or music. The drive supports both DVD+R and DVD-R formats, providing flexibility in media choice, and crucially includes support for double-layer DVD+R discs, allowing for higher capacity storage (up to 8.5GB) on a single disc. With a maximum write speed of 16x for DVD+R media, users can burn full discs relatively quickly. The drive also offers robust capabilities for rewritable media (DVD+/-RW) and CD formats, with speeds up to 48x for CD-R writing. It incorporates essential features like buffer under run protection to ensure successful burns by preventing data interruptions during the writing process. This drive is a standard 5.25-inch internal component, connecting via a SATA interface, which is common in modern PCs. It serves as a reliable solution for tasks such as backing up important files, creating software installation discs, archiving digital photos and videos, or playing back DVD movies. The SOHW-1693S-RET-B is a practical addition for systems that require optical media read/write capabilities.
