5.25" IDE DVD-ROM drive

The Lite-On iHDP118-08 is a black 5.25 inch tray-load DVD-ROM drive with an IDE interface. It reads DVD media at up to 18X and CD media at up to 48X with a 198KB cache. The drive is supplied new with screws, a driver disc and a user manual.

Suits legacy builds only

This drive fits older systems that still provide a 5.25 inch bay and a spare IDE header. Builders using motherboards without IDE connectors or cases without external 5.25 inch bays cannot install it. Buyers who need DVD writing capability should look at a DVD-RW model instead.

IDE interface decides compatibility

The parallel ATA connection is the single specification that determines whether this drive can be used. If the host board lacks an IDE port the drive will not function regardless of its 18X DVD or 48X CD read speeds.

Questions about this item

Which speed rating should I pick — the 18X DVD or 48X CD figure?

The drive reads DVDs at up to 18X and CDs at up to 48X; choose based on which media you use most.

What does the 18X DVD-ROM rating mean once the drive is installed?

It indicates a maximum DVD read speed of 18X; actual throughput varies with disc condition and the IDE channel.

The drive uses an IDE interface — what does that cap in practice?

The IDE connection limits the transfer rate to the IDE bus maximum, so sustained reads cannot exceed that bandwidth.
