Buying a SATA DVD burner tommorrow

camel lips · 03-03-2008, 05:22 AM

Anyone point me to a good one at Newegg?

I don't know of any specifics right off... I'd just look for the best rated ones, then the best priced ones... My previous brand of choice was NEC, but I think they've gone out of the burner business.

And is there any reason to get SATA? If you can find an IDE drive for less, there will be no performance difference.

I'd get sata, no bulky ide cable or jumpers to mess with

depends on what you're going to do with the burner....
labelflash or lightscribe or regular
for regular nowadays all burners will do the job well. although i'm partial to pioneers just get the cheapest one you can find
