Lite-On SHW-160P6S 16X IDE Double Layer DVD±RW Drive

SKU CH-09CG-W9CYE

An internal 16X IDE DVD±RW drive that writes double-layer discs

  • 16× write speed burns discs quickly
  • IDE interface fits legacy desktop systems
  • Double-layer recording stores more data per disc
  • Compact 5.7″ × 6.7″ form factor suits tight bays

16X IDE Double Layer DVD±RW Drive

This internal optical drive writes DVD±R and DVD±RW media at up to 16X speed and supports double-layer recording. It connects through a standard IDE interface and fits a 5.25-inch bay in desktop PCs or entry-level servers. The unit is suited for users who still rely on optical discs for software installs, backups or legacy media playback.

Straightforward IDE installation

Mount the drive in a 5.25-inch bay, attach the 40-pin IDE cable and connect a Molex power connector. Set the master/slave jumper to match your cable configuration and secure the unit with four screws. The main issue arises when the motherboard lacks an IDE header, requiring a separate PCI or PCIe IDE controller card that is not included.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 16X DVD±RW drive is working after installation?

The drive should be recognised in BIOS and by the operating system, then read and write DVD±R, DVD±RW and double-layer media at up to 16X speed without errors.

What comes in the box with the SHW-160P6S and what must I source separately?

The drive itself is included; you will need to provide an IDE data cable, a 4-pin Molex power connector, mounting screws and blank DVD±R or DVD±RW discs.
