CD BURNERS

[D_block]

In this day and age od cd burners. Whats the differnce between the conventional IDE cd rom and the new Sata cd roms...

Is there any big differnce which makes the sata cdrom better than the IDE, besides the fact that it provides better cooling ? In the case where we line up both types of cd roms / burners to put them to the test both runnin at say 18 or 20 x, should there be a difference between the both ?

~Food for thought

The difference is just the bus. The drives themselves are otherwise the same. I don't think there are any burners that burn a disc fast enough to saturate either bus.

Better cooling? Not sure how that could be.

i think he means smaller cable = not blocking airfow

Im partial to pioneer myself but i usually just buy whatever drive has the most features for the $ i picked up an asus sata lightscribe DL dvd burner for 35$ from newegg for a change and im happy with it. burns fast burns well.

Good call. Then he is correct in that respect.
