Internal DVD writer for legacy media
The Lite-On iHAS324-17 is an internal DVD writer with a SATA interface and a black tray-loading front panel. It reads and writes CD and DVD formats including dual-layer discs, making it suitable for users who still archive data, create video DVDs or install software from optical media on desktop systems.
Write speeds and practical limits
Maximum write speeds reach 24x for DVD±R, 8x for DVD±R DL, 8x for DVD+RW and 6x for DVD-RW, while CD-R hits 48x and CD-RW 24x. Read speeds top out at 16x for DVD-ROM and 48x for CD-ROM, with access times of 200 ms for DVD and 140 ms for CD. The drive cannot write or read Blu-ray discs and offers no support for newer high-capacity optical formats.
SMART write and read technologies
SMARTwrite learns each disc’s characteristics to push writing up to the rated 24x speed while maintaining reliability across media brands. SMART-X selects the optimal extraction rate during reads to lower noise and vibration. SMART-Burn adjusts write strategy and laser power per disc to reduce errors and improve archival quality. No additional software or cables are mentioned in the supplied data.

Questions about this item
Will the SATA interface on this iHAS324-17 work with a motherboard that only has original SATA 1.5 Gbps ports?
Yes, the SATA interface is backward-compatible with earlier SATA revisions, so the drive will function on a 1.5 Gbps port.
How can I verify the iHAS324-17 is writing discs at the rated 24x DVD speed after installation?
Use burning software that displays the active write speed; SMARTwrite will adjust the rate up to 24x depending on the media quality detected.
Does the iHAS324-17 retail box include a SATA data cable and mounting screws, or must I buy them separately?
The drive itself is supplied; SATA data cables and case mounting screws are not included and must be purchased separately.
