Applications
IDE DVD-ROM drives like the SOHD-167T were standard equipment in desktop PCs from the late 1990s through the mid-2000s, the era when IDE (PATA) was the dominant interface for optical drives before SATA took over. This drive is well suited as a direct replacement in HP Pavilion, HP Compaq, or any other desktop PC with a 5.25" IDE optical bay — including older workstations, legacy servers, and DIY systems still running IDE controllers. It can also be used with a standard IDE-to-USB adapter for external use with modern systems that lack optical drives entirely.
This HP 290992-ED0 (SOHD-167T) 16X IDE DVD-ROM drive has been pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. It has not been powered up or tested at our facility. The drive shows typical wear for a used internal optical drive — the black front bezel and silver metal chassis are intact with no notable damage visible in photos. The rear IDE and power connectors appear clean and undamaged. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
