Optical drive decision

YcotoSpurs · Aug 18, 2014

I've chosen this optical drive
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
But I've seen that it is half height, does thks matter or not? Also will this read dvds, cds and games?

Looking at an image of that optical drive it appears to be normal height, if it is truly half height you will probably have issues mounting it in your case.

Yes it will read/write CDs and DVDs, along with video games because they come on DVDs.

On the amazon link it says half height, are there other normal height optical drives for the same price that I could get?

Get anything from LG or Sony or lite on. I consider them disposable

, but theLG's tend to work longest.

It's a full height drive.

Ok, do you know why it may say half height on Amazon?

I've heard from multiple people that the optical drive that rgd1101 suggested is a full drive. Amazon seems inconsistent with their labeling of stats.
