How to use

For Microsoft® systems, install the included Roxio software to enable disc writing features; for other operating systems, install an OS-specific recording utility to enable write functions. Use standard tray loading to insert discs and operate read/write tasks through the operating system or recording software interface.

Recommendations

Use the drive in environments that match server operating temperatures and provide stable power. Verify that your server BIOS/firmware recognises internal SATA optical devices and keep recording software up to date. For archiving, store written discs in protective sleeves and in a dry, cool location to maximise longevity.
