Blu-ray writer with 16X BD-R speed

The ASUS BW-16D1HT is an internal SATA optical drive that writes single-layer Blu-ray discs at 16X and dual-layer media at 12X. It also reads BD-ROM at 8X and handles DVD and CD formats at up to 16X and 48X respectively. The black bezel matches standard desktop builds.

Archival storage and high-capacity backups

This drive suits users who need M-DISC support for data retention rated up to 1000 years and BDXL compatibility for up to 128 GB on a single disc. E-Green technology cuts idle power draw by roughly 50 percent. It is not for systems that lack a 5.25-inch bay or a free SATA port, nor for buyers who only need occasional DVD burning.

16X BD-R write speed

The 16X BD-R rating means a 25 GB disc can be written in about 8 minutes, which is the key figure for deciding if this drive meets your backup window. Slower writers will take proportionally longer for the same capacity.

Questions about this item

Will this 16X BD-R writer work with my existing SATA motherboard and power cables?

Yes, the drive uses a standard SATA data and power interface, so it connects directly to any motherboard SATA port and PSU SATA power lead you already have.

How can I confirm the drive is writing at its rated 16X BD-R speed after installation?

Burning software such as ImgBurn or Nero will display the active write speed; a 25 GB BD-R should complete in roughly 8 minutes when the drive is operating at 16X.

Does the retail box include a SATA data cable, mounting screws or disc-burning software, or must I buy them separately?

The package contains the drive only; a SATA data cable, case screws and any third-party burning application need to be sourced separately.
