[Gigacore]

Get one from Samsung that supports SATA interface... its already available in India. Its called something like "Super-WriteMaster" - India's First 20X SATA DVD writer...

Sorry for the noob Question.. How to find whether sata port is present in my MOBO.. I think i have only IDE supported ports..

anyway my MOBO is ASUS P4V533-MX:

just search the motherboard guide.it will show u the actual diagram and connx slots.I think urs got 2 sata options.

Looking at the pic,i see no sata port on your mobo.But refer the mobo manual.

Also for best dvd writer get the LH-20A1P.It's a 20x dvd writer & it's the best currently in the market.It has a ide interface.

Don't go for samsung they develop tray problems after sometime.

my Motherboard ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe says...
"2 Serial ATA channels via Silicon Image Sil3112À controller with RAID 0 and 1, 0+1 support "


and an article says about this Mobo (ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe)...

NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset doesn’t support the SerialATA interface and ASUS made up for this deficiency by integrating a Sil3112A chip from Silicon Image into the mainboard. It supports two SerialATA devices that you can unite into a RAID array of level 0 or 1. In fact, the SerialATA interface, originally a server technology, has long ceased to be a privilege of a small number of selected mainboards only – mainboard manufactures felt that users were interested in this technology and did their best to meet their demands.


does my Mobo have SATA ports and can I connect a SATA DVD Writer ?

Liteon isnt good. Dont go for it. Their customer service sucks!

[praka123]

get a samsung!i dont believe in this benq/liteon/sony are superior story!latest samsung drives are better.am using my octoedge for past 6 months or so.no probs.
if not get a "real" dvdwriter from plextor or pioneer!(dont know if these are available) as they are tauted to be the best!high in price too

[jossee]
