Dell 3W833 Internal DVD±RW Drive

The Dell 3W833 is a 16X half-height IDE optical drive built for Precision Ws670 and Ws470 workstations. It reads and writes DVD±RW media using a standard PATA interface. This new drive suits technicians maintaining or restoring these specific legacy systems.

Questions about this item

Will the laser in this 16X DVD±RW drive need replacement after heavy use?

The laser assembly is a consumable part; with frequent burning at 16X speed it will eventually degrade and require drive replacement.

What is the first limit reached during sustained writing on this IDE drive?

The IDE interface bandwidth and 16X write speed become the bottleneck before the drive’s buffer or thermal limits are reached.
