Applications
Slim IDE combo optical drives like the CRX820E were standard equipment in early-2000s laptops, replacing separate CD-ROM and CD-RW drives with a single unit that handled both DVD playback and CD burning. The CRX820E was used in Apple iBook and PowerBook G4 systems as well as Sony VAIO notebooks of the era. Today these drives are sought as direct replacement parts for laptops of that generation, which often rely on the slim IDE interface rather than the SATA or USB connections found in later optical drives. Compatible Apple and Sony systems that accept this drive's bay size and slimline IDE connector can accept this unit as a functional replacement.
This Sony CRX820E CD-R/RW/DVD-ROM slim laptop combo drive has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. It has not been powered up or tested at our facility, but was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. The drive's top casing shows light surface scuffs and handling marks typical of a used laptop component; the slimline IDE connector on the rear appears intact and undamaged. The label plate is fully legible and intact. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
