Internal DVD writer for disc archiving

The Lite-On iHAS524 is an internal 5.25 inch drive that writes DVD+R and DVD-R at 24x and rewrites DVD+RW and DVD-RW at 12x. It also records CD-R at 48x and CD-RW at 32x. The SATA interface fits standard desktop bays and the black bezel matches typical chassis fronts.

Quiet operation with low power draw

In normal use the drive reads DVD-ROM at 16x and CD-ROM at 48x while drawing only modest power from the SATA connector. The half-height 1.6 inch form factor leaves room for airflow, and the mechanism runs quietly during typical burn or read sessions.

Sustained write performance and LabelTag support

During long burns the 24x DVD write speed is maintained across single and dual-layer media without thermal throttling. LabelTag allows direct disc labeling on standard DVD+R, DVD-R and CD-R media, removing the need for a separate printer. The drive does not support Blu-ray media.

Questions about this item

How do I install the iHAS524 in a 5.25-inch half-height bay and what SATA step is often missed?

Mount the 1.6-inch-high drive in a 5.25-inch half-height bay using four M3 screws, connect a SATA data cable to the motherboard and a SATA power connector from the PSU, then ensure the SATA controller is set to AHCI or IDE mode in BIOS so the OS detects the writer.

Which mechanical parts of the iHAS524 typically wear out and need replacement after heavy use?

The tray-loading mechanism, spindle motor and laser pickup assembly are the main wear items; after thousands of burn cycles the tray gears can skip, the spindle bearings may develop run-out and the laser diode loses power, requiring a full drive swap.

At what sustained write speed does the iHAS524 hit its thermal or buffer limit during long sessions?

The 24x DVD+R and 48x CD-R maximums are burst rates; during continuous multi-disc burns the drive typically throttles to 12–16x DVD and 24–32x CD to keep the internal buffer from under-running and the laser temperature stable.
