Role and fit

The PIODATA DVR-S21DBK is a half-height 5.25" internal optical drive that writes and reads CD and DVD media. It suits anyone adding legacy disc support to a desktop PC, a duplicator tower or a home-theatre PC where a tray-load mechanism is preferred.

Capacity and headroom

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 32X. Read speeds top out at 16X for DVD-ROM and 48X for CD-ROM. A 512 KB cache smooths sustained transfers, though the drive cannot handle Blu-ray or M-DISC media.

Build integration

The unit connects via a standard SATA data and power interface and mounts in any 5.25" bay with a black bezel and tray-load action. No extra drivers are required on modern operating systems, and the bare-drive package leaves cable selection and mounting screws to the builder.

FeaturesPiodata is an offshoot of a major optical disc drive (ODD) manufacturer catering to the duplication market. With the numbers of manufacturers for the common ODD used in optical disc duplicators decreasing, Piodata has remained. Piodata filled the gap as the key tier 1 Japanese ODD factory decided to exit the market. The Piodata DVR-S21DBK is readily available and remains focused on the important global duplication market.

Questions about this item

Will this SATA DVD burner work in a system that still uses an older SATA controller?

Yes, the drive uses a standard SATA interface and will function with any SATA controller that supports optical drives.

How can I verify the drive is performing at its rated speeds after installation?

Check the burning software or device manager for the active write speeds; the drive supports up to 24X DVD±R, 8X DVD±R DL, 48X CD-R and 32X CD-RW.

Does the box include mounting screws or a SATA cable, or do I need to buy them separately?

The package contains the bare 5.25" black tray drive only; mounting screws and SATA data and power cables are not included.
