Slimline IDE combo drive
The IBM GCC-4244N is a slimline optical drive that reads DVD-ROM discs and writes CD-R and CD-RW media through a standard IDE interface. It fits laptops or small-form-factor systems that use a 5.1-inch mounting footprint. The unit is supplied new and ready for installation in compatible hardware.
Replaces ageing CD-only or DVD-ROM units
This drive upgrades a system that can only read CDs or lacks DVD playback, adding CD-RW writing at 24x speed while keeping the same IDE connection. The jump is worth it when a legacy notebook or compact desktop needs writable CD support and DVD reading without changing the interface or chassis.
Highlights
- 24× CD-RW write speed for fast disc creation
- 8× DVD-ROM read speed for quick media access
- Slimline IDE form factor fits compact bays

Questions about this item
Will the 5.1-inch wide drive bay accept this slimline combo unit?
The drive measures 5.1 inches wide, 5.1 inches long and 1 inch high, so a standard 5.1-inch bay with 1-inch clearance will fit it.
How do I connect the IDE cable without bending the pins on the GCC-4244N?
Align the 40-pin IDE connector on the rear edge, press straight in until the plastic shroud seats fully, then secure the drive with the side mounting screws.
