Optical Drive SATA 16X

HP 690418-001 is a 16X SATA DVD±RW SuperMulti optical drive for reading and writing compatible optical discs. Its 16X rating identifies the drive’s stated DVD speed class, while the SATA interface connects it to a compatible computer’s storage connection.

The HP guide lists this exact part number as a 16X DVD±RW SuperMulti drive and shows an optical drive in an optional 5.25-inch bay. This makes it a suitable replacement reference when restoring that type of optical-drive function in a compatible system. The guide does not specify included cables or mounting hardware.
