Dell 16X/48X SATA Internal DVD-ROM Drive

The Dell Y081C is a SATA internal optical drive that reads DVD media at up to 16X and CD media at up to 48X. It suits users who still install software from disc, archive data to writable DVDs or play legacy media on a desktop workstation. The drive is supplied new and connects directly to a standard SATA port on the motherboard.

SATA optical drive integration

Installation requires an available 5.25 inch drive bay, a free SATA data connector and a matching SATA power lead from the power supply. The tray-load mechanism frees the front panel from a motorised drawer, while the SATA interface leaves legacy IDE headers unused for other devices. Builders who need Blu-ray playback, M-DISC support or an external USB enclosure will not find those functions in this unit.
