Philips 16x DVD burner with IDE interface

The Philips DVD8801/97 is a new 16x DVD-RW dual-layer and CD-RW writer using an IDE connection. It suits owners of legacy systems that still provide a parallel ATA port for optical drives. The drive handles both DVD and CD recording tasks in a single half-height unit.

Suitable for upgrading

Systems that lack an IDE header cannot use this drive directly. Users who need Blu-ray recording or faster USB-attached writers should consider other options. The mechanism is intended for standard desktop bays that accept 5.25-inch internal devices.

Questions about this item

Does the 16x write speed hold steady through a full dual-layer disc, or does it drop part way?

The drive is rated at 16x for single-layer media; dual-layer writing typically shifts to a lower speed zone part way through the disc.

How loud is the IDE DVD8801/97 when it runs at 16x for an hour?

At maximum speed the mechanism produces a noticeable whir that stays constant during long burns; idle noise is low.
