Cabling alone is reason to get Sata vs ide, they're right in those regards it's much easier to deal with and the cost of say a sata drive is really almost identical to ide (which are getting harder to find anyway) my mobo for example only has sata connections anyway and the newer eq is trending that way

Re: Stupid question: IDE vs. SATA DVD
while you will not get faster READ/WRITE rates as that is determined by your actual optical drive, you will get higher transmit/receive speeds going to and from the optical drive. So your buffer rates and such will see better throughput and you'll have more headroom for bursts of data to and from the drive.

I use this model in all my builds, and in my box. Quiet. Cheap. Easy to use.

and it's a lightscribe, meaning you can turn the disc over and burn images/title/text onto the face (of course, you have to use lightscribe disks, but they can be purchased or ordered anywhere).
$26.

Re: Stupid question: IDE vs. SATA DVD
I was asking more for if I should replace the one I have now or purchase a new SATA one. Since there is no performance increase, I'll just stick with what I have until I must replace it in a year or 2 when I do another round of upgrades.
