16X IDE Double Layer DVD±RW Drive
This internal optical drive writes DVD±R and DVD±RW media at up to 16X speed and supports double-layer recording. It connects through a standard IDE interface and fits a 5.25-inch bay in desktop PCs or entry-level servers. The unit is suited for users who still rely on optical discs for software installs, backups or legacy media playback.
Straightforward IDE installation
Mount the drive in a 5.25-inch bay, attach the 40-pin IDE cable and connect a Molex power connector. Set the master/slave jumper to match your cable configuration and secure the unit with four screws. The main issue arises when the motherboard lacks an IDE header, requiring a separate PCI or PCIe IDE controller card that is not included.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 16X DVD±RW drive is working after installation?
The drive should be recognised in BIOS and by the operating system, then read and write DVD±R, DVD±RW and double-layer media at up to 16X speed without errors.
What comes in the box with the SHW-160P6S and what must I source separately?
The drive itself is included; you will need to provide an IDE data cable, a 4-pin Molex power connector, mounting screws and blank DVD±R or DVD±RW discs.
