whats the point of getting a SATA DVD Burner? It doesn't really matter what interface I use for a burner. Nowadays we have external hard drives, thumb drives, SSDs, and Hard Drive Enclosures. Not to mention most games really don't require a CD with No-cd patches. So I'm just gonna buy an IDE for three reasons: Cheaper and patience and minor uses. At least until blu ray burners become cheaper.
