Hi guys ive recently purchased sony DRU 880s dvd writer which is a sata interface...so please help me connect in my pata motherboard
SATA DVD Writer on a PATA motherboard
if u want to connect a SATA device to PATA interface then i suppose u will need to use a SATA to PATA converter !!!
Sata to pata converter how
I'd like to know the reverse process, Is it possible to use a PATA Dvd-Rw to a SATA port via an extension cable?
^^for that you can usesata-to-pata converter.
Isn't there any sata port in your mobo? What is the use of buying a sata dvd-rw if you want to use it via pata? you will get the pata speed, instead you could have bought a pata drive.

JohnephSi, if you use SATA to PATA converter then you will loose the speed advantage of SATA. Better choice is add an SATA-Addon Card to your PCI slot. It will help you to add more sata components like SATA HDDs. Price will be within 1K.
its a device !! donno how much it cost but is cheap and allows SATA device to be connected onto a PATA port
IMO best sol to buy IDE/SATA to USB converter for 250/-
Hot pluggable and very useful

even this is a good idea if u wanna keep ur dvd writer outside ur cabinet !!
SATA-Addon Card...plz suggest me a good one with name if possible
P
I purchases a raid card as my sata port are all full. But my dvd-rw (sata) doesn't work on raid card having sata port. So i think of buying a USB dvd-rw.
so will it be better to buy the usb one or pcie
^^ entirely up to u
i mean regarding speed which one will ve better speed
