DELL C3748 CD 48X IDE DVD Drive

SKU CH-FJPD-KHWVW

A Dell internal CD drive reading discs at 48× speed over IDE interface

  • Reads CDs at 48× speed for fast data access
  • IDE interface connects to legacy motherboards without adapters
  • Half-height internal design installs in standard drive bays
  • Dell C3748 part number simplifies ordering for service teams
  • Factory-new condition ensures full manufacturer reliability

Dell C3748 48X CD Reader

The Dell C3748 is a new internal CD-ROM drive that reads discs at up to 48X speed. It connects through an IDE interface and fits a standard half-height 5.25 inch bay. This unit suits anyone restoring or maintaining a legacy desktop that still uses a parallel ATA connection.

Suits legacy IDE builds; not for writers or DVD

This drive serves builders who need a simple CD reader for an older motherboard with an IDE header. It does not write CDs and it does not read DVD media. Buyers who need disc authoring or DVD playback must choose a different device.

48X maximum read speed

The single specification that decides fit is the 48X maximum read rate. If the target system requires faster CD access or any write capability, this model will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install this IDE optical drive and which jumper setting is often missed?

Connect the 40-pin IDE ribbon and 4-pin power, then set the rear jumper to Master or Cable Select before securing the half-height unit in a 5.25-inch bay.

What maintenance will this CD 48X drive need over time?

Clean the laser lens with a disc cleaner when read errors appear; the tray mechanism and motor bearings are not user-serviceable and require full replacement if they fail.

What limit appears first during sustained 48X reading sessions?

Heat buildup in the half-height chassis throttles the 48X speed after several minutes of continuous maximum-rate reading.
