D_block Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that could be.i think he means smaller cable = not blocking airfowIm 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.
