scoopyx Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Hi.I've put a Sony Optiarc AD-7240S SATA burner in my machine.In Device Manager it shows as a SATA device, but in my Convert X To DVD software it displays as IDE.Does anyone know whether this is normal?And a second question, can I run two SATA burners in the same computer?Thanx and regards,scoopyx.

Zenskas Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Hi there,Its fine that its showing up as an IDE drive as it would be running in IDE mode (no RAID or AHCI).You can run two drives in the one PC, and your burning program should let you choose which drive to burn to when you are about to burn something.Hope this helps.

Zenskas Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 No problem Also with two optical drives in your system copying a disk can be faster if you put the disk you want copied in one drive and then a blank disk in the other, then in your burning program you should be able to select the source drive (the disk you want to copy) and the destination drive (the blank disk). This will copy off the disk then straight onto the blank disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
