Lookin for a good burner with lightscribe

[Sakon]

Upgrading a new computer, and curious on the DVD burners with lightscribe (god i hate markers). Was wondering if anyone could recomend a decent one, and what exactly is the difference between IDE/SATA?
Here's the Mobo I'm currently planning on picking up.

Eh budget, most drives I've seen are around the 30-40$ mark so that what I'm currently lookin to spend on em.

ur mobo has 2 ide slots, one floppy drive slot.

IDE is the interface, basically the plugging section. SATA is another interface, said to be faster, to be honest, u wont notice a biig diff with or without sata.

a good drive?

I really hope you change your mind about that craptastic AMD.

Anyways, I'm having a lot of luck with Pioneer and LG burners.

I think people prefer SATA drives just because it makes their case look cleaner.

You can get a Lite-On SATA Lightscribe DVD burner on Newegg for like 25 bucks. Anything more expensive and you're paying for the name. It's just a DVD burner.

Yes i agree and SATA is quicker.

Here is a SATA drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151154 - it a little more than $25.

But you can't get a lightscribe for under $25.

SATA is definitely faster than IDE/PATA. Although you will not realize the speed difference on a DVD drive. You certainly are not going to be burning anything at a speed higher than what IDE/PATA can deliver.

Yes i agree. But SATA is faster for hard drives

Well is it? In a single computer I very much doubt anyone would notice a difference. What was PATA? 120mb/s or something? A hard drive can't read or write at that speed anyway.

There's no doubting it's neater though.

I have no idea what PATA is it must be the next one from SATA.
