Internal DVD Writer for Legacy Media

The Lite-On iHAS524 is an internal SATA DVD writer built for systems that still read and write optical discs. It fits a standard 5.25 inch half-height bay and supports DVD±R at 24X, DVD±RW at 8X, CD-R at 48X and CD-RW at 32X speeds. Double-layer DVD recording at 8X is also included for larger archives.

Replaces Ageing Optical Drives

This drive upgrades older burners that max out at lower DVD write speeds or lack dual-layer support. The jump is worth it when you need reliable 24X DVD recording and 48X CD performance for software installs, backups or disc duplication. It does not serve builders who need Blu-ray capability or external USB connectivity.

Sustained Write Behaviour

Under continuous burning the drive maintains its rated 24X DVD and 48X CD write speeds without thermal throttling in typical chassis airflow. Buffer underrun protection keeps long sessions stable across double-layer media. It is not suited for workloads that demand constant high-speed throughput beyond optical media limits.

Questions about this item

Will the iHAS524 fit in a 5.25 inch half-height drive bay?

Yes, the drive is built for a 5.25 inch wide bay with a 1/2H height, measuring 1.6 inches tall, 5.7 inches wide and 6.7 inches deep.

What SATA cable and power connector does the iHAS524 need during installation?

Connect a standard SATA data cable to the motherboard and a SATA power plug from the power supply; the step often missed is securing both cables firmly so the drive does not shift in the bay.

When should the laser lens on the iHAS524 be cleaned?

Clean the lens with a dry optical cleaning disc only when read or write errors appear on DVD±R, DVD±RW or CD-R media at the rated 24x, 8x, 16x or 48x speeds.
