24X DVD±R writer for 5.25" bays
The Lite-On iHAS324-08 is an internal DVD burner that fits a standard 5.25-inch drive bay and connects through a SATA interface. It writes single-layer DVD±R discs at 24X and dual-layer media at 8X, storing up to 8.5 GB per disc. A 2 MB buffer works with Smart-Burn and Smart-Write technologies to reduce failed burns. The tray-load mechanism accepts all common DVD and CD formats.
Suits legacy PC builds and optical archiving
This drive is intended for systems running Windows 2000, XP or Vista, or for users who need to read and write physical discs on older hardware. It is not for builders assembling modern PCs that lack a 5.25-inch bay or a SATA port for optical drives. Buyers who want Blu-ray recording or USB connectivity should look at other categories.
24X maximum DVD write speed
The single specification that determines suitability is the 24X DVD±R write speed, which completes a full 4.7 GB disc in roughly five and a half minutes. If your workflow demands faster optical writing or a different interface, this model will not meet that requirement.
