Internal SATA DVD-ROM drive

Suits users adding disc-read capability

This drive suits anyone needing to read CDs or DVDs on a desktop with an available SATA port and drive bay. It is not for users who must write discs, play Blu-ray media or require an external USB enclosure. Builders without a free SATA header or bay should consider other options.
