Dell CD-ROM 48X MG sc-148 Drive

This Dell CD-ROM drive reads standard compact discs at up to 48X speed. The MG sc-148 model is supplied new and fits desktop systems requiring an internal optical reader. It handles data discs and audio CDs for software installation or media playback.

48X maximum read speed

The single specification that determines fit is the 48X maximum read rate for CD media. This figure defines how quickly the drive can transfer data from a disc to the system. No DVD read or write capability is included with this unit.

Buyers who need to install legacy software, rip audio CDs or access archived data on CD-R and CD-RW discs will find this drive adequate. Anyone requiring DVD playback, DVD burning, Blu-ray support or faster transfer rates should look at a different drive.
