Internal 5.25" IDE CD Writer

This KHypermedia drive is an internal CD writer that fits a standard 5.25-inch bay and connects through an IDE interface. It writes CD-R media at 52x and rewrites CD-RW media at 24x, while reading CDs at up to 52x. The retail package contains a single unit ready for installation.

Suits legacy desktop repairs; not for DVD or Blu-ray

Builders restoring older systems with an available IDE header and a 5.25-inch bay will find the correct write and read speeds for CD media. The drive does not write or read DVD or Blu-ray discs, so anyone needing those formats must look elsewhere. It also cannot be installed in slim or slot-loading bays.

IDE interface decides compatibility

The drive uses an IDE connection, so the motherboard or controller card must provide a matching IDE port. Without that interface the unit cannot communicate with the system, making the IDE requirement the single specification that determines whether this is the right part.

Questions about this item

Will this 52x CD-RW drive fit in the same 5.25 inch bay as my old IDE optical drive?

Yes, it uses a standard 5.25 inch form factor and an IDE interface so it can replace an older IDE optical drive in the same bay.

How can I confirm the drive is writing at its rated 52x speed after installation?

Burning software will show the selected write speed; a successful 52x CD-R burn will complete noticeably faster than lower speeds.

Does the retail package include an IDE cable and mounting screws, or must I buy them separately?

The retail box contains the drive only; an IDE cable and 5.25 inch mounting screws are not included and must be sourced separately.
