Questions about this item
What does the 16X by 48X rating mean for disc reading?
The 16X figure is the maximum speed for DVD reads and the 48X figure is the maximum speed for CD reads; actual throughput depends on disc quality and system load.
Which internal interface does this U5945 drive use?
It connects through a standard IDE channel, so the host must provide a compatible 40-pin IDE port and power connector.
