Internal DVD burner

The Lite-On iHAS124-04 is a 5.25 inch SATA optical drive that writes and reads all common CD and DVD formats. It records 4.7 GB to DVD+R at 24X and supports dual-layer discs up to 8.5 GB. A 1 MB cache and Smart-Burn buffer under-run protection help prevent failed burns. The black bezel matches standard desktop chassis.

Desktop builders needing legacy media support

This drive suits users who archive data, create boot discs or play older software on optical media. It fits any 5.25 inch bay with a SATA connection. Builders without a 5.25 inch bay or those who only need USB external drives should consider other options. Systems lacking a SATA port cannot use this unit.

Maximum DVD write speed

The highest write speed is 24X for DVD+R and DVD-R media, completing a full 4.7 GB disc in roughly five and a half minutes. Dual-layer DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL write at 12X. CD-R writes at 48X and CD-RW at 32X. These speeds determine how quickly you can create discs.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5.25" SATA DVD burner and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a 5.25 inch bay, connect the SATA data cable to the motherboard and the SATA power cable from the PSU, then ensure the SATA port is enabled in BIOS so the OS detects it.

What maintenance or replacement will the iHAS124-04 need over time?

The laser lens may need occasional cleaning with a lens-cleaning disc, and the tray mechanism can wear after heavy use; if burns fail consistently, replace the drive.

What limit appears first during sustained high-speed burning?

The 1 MB buffer can under-run if the system cannot feed data fast enough at 24X DVD or 48X CD speeds, triggering Smart-Burn to slow the write.
