Lite-On IHAS324-17 DVD Writer
The Lite-On IHAS324-17 is an internal DVD writer designed for desktop PCs needing to read and write optical discs. It connects via a SATA interface and fits a standard 5.25 inch drive bay. The drive supports CD and DVD media formats for data backup, software installation or media playback. It is a new component suitable for system builds or replacing a failed optical drive.
Suits builders adding optical media support
This drive suits users who still rely on physical discs for legacy software, driver disks or archival backups. It works with older Windows versions from XP through Windows 8 as well as Linux and DOS environments. It is not for systems lacking an internal SATA port or a 5.25 inch bay. Buyers needing Blu-ray read or write capability must select a different drive type.
24x maximum DVD write speed
The key specification is the 24x maximum write speed for compatible DVD media, determining how quickly discs can be burned. Random access time is rated at 140 ms for locating data on the disc. A 1 GHz or faster CPU is recommended along with sufficient RAM and free disk space for authoring tasks. An available SATA port on the motherboard is required for installation.

Questions about this item
What SATA port does my motherboard need to connect the IHAS324-17 drive?
Any available SATA port on the motherboard will work; the drive uses the standard SATA interface for data and power.
Will the IHAS324-17 operate correctly with a legacy IDE hard drive still installed in the same system?
Yes, the SATA DVD writer and an older IDE drive can coexist because they use separate interfaces and do not share a channel.
How can I verify the IHAS324-17 is performing at its rated 140 ms random access time after installation?
Run a drive benchmark tool such as CDSpeed or Nero DiscSpeed and check that the reported random access measurement is close to 140 ms.
