What this drive is

The Dell DM692 is a 16X SATA internal DVD±RW drive for desktop computers that need to read or write optical discs. It suits offices, technicians or hobbyists who still install software, create backups or play media from physical media.

Practical limits of SATA optical drives

SATA bandwidth is not a bottleneck for 16X DVD speeds, but the interface cannot make the drive faster than its rated write rate. Buyers who need Blu-ray support, higher write speeds or external connectivity must choose a different device.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16X version or a slower drive?

The 16X rating is the maximum write speed for DVD±R media; choose it if your burning software and blank discs also support 16X, otherwise a slower drive will simply write at the highest speed both devices share.

What does the 16X figure mean once the drive is installed in my PC?

It means the drive can write a full single-layer DVD±R in about six minutes and a dual-layer DVD±R in roughly twelve minutes when the SATA connection and disc quality allow the full 16X rate.
