I wonder if anyone can help me with this question. IDE DVD burner and SATA DVD burner are both available in the market. If I had a computer that is used for IDE DVD rewriter, which used a power cable, and a data (clothing) cable. Can it connect it to a SATA dvd rewriter? SATA only use wire cable. Someone told me that it is possible to do, only if you have the right cable for connection. Can anyone help me here?

Howdy clorissa123!... If you gonna buy an Internal SATA DVD Drive Burner, SATA cable is always included. Be sure that you still have available cable for the power inside your computer motherboard. As long as your computer motherboard model by 2004 until presently, SATA cable slots are available in the motherboard. If your motherboard doesn't have SATA cable slots or if you have but the SATA slots are all occupied (i.e. SATA Hard Disk Drives) must have those SATA Slot through PCI Card. Or else, just use external USB DVD Drive Burner. Thanks and Enjoy!... myLot!...
