IDE Vs SATA DVD/RW Drive

Hi:

Not as far as I know. Using a SATA DVD/RW is just becasue you have migrated
to MOB to a new one with SATA. I depend more in the model of DVD that you
are using, than the interface.

Only if you don't have an open IDE connector available.

I was reading somewhere that the SATA DVD/RW drives only have a IDE to SATA
converter installed in them or similar

Smaller cabling, eliminates the need for some to use IDE all together, helps
with airfow. Etc......
