Internal DVD Burner 24X SATA

The Lite-On iHAS524-T98A is an internal optical drive that writes DVD±R at 24X and CD-R at 48X. It connects through a SATA interface and has a black tray-loading bezel. A 1.5MB buffer helps sustain writes across dual-layer and single-layer media.

Suits archivers and legacy installs

Users who need to create or read DVD±R DL at 12X, DVD-RAM at 12X or CD-RW at 32X will find the speeds covered. Builders without a SATA port or a 5.25-inch bay cannot install this unit. Anyone requiring Blu-ray read or write capability should look elsewhere.

24X DVD±R write speed

The peak 24X DVD+R and DVD-R rate is the single figure that decides if this drive matches the project. Lower DVD±RW speeds of 8X and 6X apply to rewritable media. CD-ROM reads at 48X and DVD-ROM at 16X.

Questions about this item

How fast does the 1.5MB cache handle sustained 24X DVD+R writing without slowing down?

The 1.5MB buffer helps maintain steady 24X DVD+R and 24X DVD-R recording by smoothing data flow from the host system.

What noise or heat level should I expect from the tray mechanism during all-day 48X CD-R sessions?

The tray-load design runs at standard desktop optical-drive acoustics; sustained 48X CD-R or 24X DVD±R use produces typical whir and warm exhaust.

Which SATA port and cable must my motherboard already provide for this iHAS524-T98A to operate?

A standard SATA data port plus a SATA power connector from the power supply are required; the drive uses the common SATA interface.
