Internal Optical Drives
Internal optical drives provide a straightforward way to read and write CDs, DVDs and Blu‑ray discs within desktop computers. Designed to install in standard 5.25‑inch bays, these drives connect via SATA and include trays or slot‑loading mechanisms for loading media. CD and DVD writers handle creating data and audio discs as well as reading legacy media, while Blu‑ray writers add support for high‑capacity discs up to 50 GB or more on multi‑layer formats.
Many drives feature buffering systems to prevent write errors, and firmware updates may add compatibility with newer recordable media. They’re useful for installing operating systems from disc, ripping music collections, or archiving data on physical media. With support for DVD‑R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD‑R/RW and BD‑R/RE formats, internal optical drives in our range come from brands that continue to produce reliable hardware despite the decline of optical bays in modern cases. For systems that still accommodate them, these drives provide a versatile tool for interacting with optical media.
