Product Identity

The Lite-On SOHR-5239S32C is a 5.25 inch IDE CDRW drive that writes CD-R media at 52x and rewrites CD-RW media at 32x. It installs in a standard internal bay and connects through a legacy parallel ATA interface. The black bezel matches classic chassis aesthetics.

Suitability

This drive suits builders restoring vintage systems or users archiving data to CD media. It does not read or write DVD formats, so buyers needing DVD support should consider a different unit. It also requires an available IDE header, which modern motherboards often lack.

Questions about this item

Does this drive need a free 5.25 inch bay and an IDE header on the motherboard?

Yes, it is a 5.25 inch internal drive that connects via a standard IDE interface, so you need an open drive bay and an available IDE port.

Can I keep using my existing 32x CD-RW media with this 52x writer?

The drive writes CD-R at up to 52x and rewrites CD-RW at up to 32x, so your current 32x CD-RW discs are fully supported at their rated speed.
