Pioneer 24x SATA DVD burner
The Pioneer DVR-S21WBK/PLUS is a 5.25 inch internal optical drive with a black tray-loading bezel. It writes DVD+R and DVD-R media at 16X and CD-R at 52X. The unit connects via SATA and suits desktop PC builders who still need to read or write physical discs.
Check your setup before ordering
Verify that the chassis has a free 5.25 inch bay and an available SATA data port on the motherboard or add-in controller. A SATA power connector from the power supply is also required. The drive accepts both 12 cm and 8 cm discs and mounts in horizontal or vertical orientation using screws no longer than 5 mm.
Build quality and daily use
Supplied as a bare drive without cables or mounting rails, the unit weighs little and fits standard ATX cases. The tray mechanism loads discs smoothly and the 0.5 MB buffer helps prevent buffer underruns during recording. Secure mounting with short screws avoids vibration noise when discs spin at 24X.

Questions about this item
What does the package include and what must I buy separately?
The box contains the bare DVD writer only. You will need a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector and mounting screws (5 mm or shorter) to install it in a 5.25-inch bay.
Which speed rating should I rely on for DVD-R writing?
The drive writes single-layer DVD-R at 24x and dual-layer DVD-R DL at 8x, so choose media rated for those speeds to get the rated performance.
What do the 24x and 8x figures mean when the drive is installed in my PC?
24x is the maximum write speed for single-layer DVD±R and 8x for dual-layer DVD±R DL; actual throughput depends on media quality, system load and the burning software used.
