is this a good dvd burner

Fix your link -.-

As for Cache, 2M should do fine. I think that's all the NEC 3270's have(which is what I and quite a few others appear to have) and I think it's plenty fast.

And it's not about being "fast" ... the bigger the cache, the more safety buffer you have ... yes i know about buffer underrun protection ... but if you wanna do serious burns and stuff ... you dont use that (the protection) ... cuz if you do ... then yer burning too fast :)

Save your money and get IDE. CD-ROM's don't even surpass ATA33 yet! Much less SATA150/300

The SATA model runs DMA2/4 anyways so it's not technically running in SATA mode ... the advantage is that you no longer bottleneck your PATA lines
 
Don't agree about the IDE purchase. You'll find that a few months / years down the line regular IDE gets phased out and SATA is fitted in all new computers as standard, you then need to buy another burner or extra interface card even if you don't want to.

This is what happened with ISA / PCI cards, Parallel / USB, the list goes on.

SATA sounds like a better bet to us. Standardisation is the key here.
