SATA controller & converter for PATA CD/DVD drives
Is there a low cost (under $60) SATA controller & converter pair that
will work with PATA CD/DVD drives? If there is, please tell me where I can get them? Thank you in advance for all replies. -- I am TERRIBLY cruel to my cat. I tease him with a vine tendril until he either jumps up in the air to bat at it or zooms around in a circle until he gets too dizzy to stand up. What is cruel about it is that I don't do it nearly as much as he wants me to. |

It's really not recommended to run burners on SATA, at least until some
decent controllers come around that are ATAPI compliant. Any converter will work, but controllers are another issue completely. Thus far, only the Intel chipset-based controllers are shown to be reliable for burners. "Daniel Prince" wrote in message ...

My understanding is that SATA drives should be installed independently away from IDE connector/power supply....
