The IHAS324 is the new LiteOn drive supporting 24X burning of DVD±R media. Being among the very few drives to support such speeds, along with the Optiarc AD7240S, it is a competition among the two brands for the domination of the high speed DVD burners market. This drive supports burning of DVD±R media at 24X, DVD±R DL media at 12X, DVD+RW at 8X, DVD-RW at 6X and DVD-RAM at 12X.

Features:

  • SmartWrite can overspeed certain 16X DVD±R media to a maximum of 24X 
  • SmartErase: Erase your disc the "Smart way": cost effective and beyond recovery 
  • SmartWrite optimizes the writing strategy for each particular session and automatically memorizes this for future sessions
