Internal DVD writer for duplication towers

Bare drive with M-DISC support

The package contains only the bare drive without cables, mounting hardware or burning software. M-DISC compatibility allows archival recording on supported media for long-term data preservation. System integrators must supply their own SATA data and power connections.

The SATA connection provides standard internal bandwidth for optical media speeds. The drive measures 5.75 inches wide, 1.63 inches high and 6.70 inches deep with the tray closed; the tray extends 61 millimetres when open. Total set length reaches 300 millimetres with the tray fully extended.
