|  What are the benefits of using a SATA dvd burner vs. normal dvd burner?
I do not know much about this. My MB has 4 slots for SATA II. I am only using 2 of them for my SATA II HD's. I am using an Memorex IDE DVD burner now. I noticed Fry's has a great deal on a SATA DVD Burner by Pioneer.
Can you answer my question?
What are the benefits of using a SATA dvd burner vs. normal dvd burner?
Thank you,
Freddy |

I don't think there are any specific benefits

I don't think there really is any difference, same as far as I know, get rid of the ugly ribbon cable though, always a plus.

well it also gets better air flow (lol not much), and i think its a bit faster transfer rates.

as everyone else said, having a 'SATA DVD burner' really means/does... next to nothing... its just that SATA is a faster, more efficient, more modern connection than IDE... you wont really notice much difference, but if you can get a deal on it and its better in other ways than the drive you have, id go for it...  - RK
