24X DVD±R writer for 5.25" bays

The Lite-On iHAS324-08 is an internal DVD burner that fits a standard 5.25-inch drive bay and connects through a SATA interface. It writes single-layer DVD±R discs at 24X and dual-layer media at 8X, storing up to 8.5 GB per disc. A 2 MB buffer works with Smart-Burn and Smart-Write technologies to reduce failed burns. The tray-load mechanism accepts all common DVD and CD formats.

Suits legacy PC builds and optical archiving

This drive is intended for systems running Windows 2000, XP or Vista, or for users who need to read and write physical discs on older hardware. It is not for builders assembling modern PCs that lack a 5.25-inch bay or a SATA port for optical drives. Buyers who want Blu-ray recording or USB connectivity should look at other categories.

24X maximum DVD write speed

The single specification that determines suitability is the 24X DVD±R write speed, which completes a full 4.7 GB disc in roughly five and a half minutes. If your workflow demands faster optical writing or a different interface, this model will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What SATA connection does my motherboard need for this 5.25" drive?

The iHAS324-08 uses a standard SATA interface, so any motherboard SATA port will power and communicate with the burner.

Will the 24X DVD write speeds work with older 16X DVD-R media I already have?

Yes, the drive writes DVD-R at up to 24X and will automatically step down to the 16X limit of your existing discs.

How can I confirm the 2 MB cache is active after installing the burner?

Burning software such as ImgBurn reports the buffer size in its device capabilities tab, showing 2 MB for this model.
