If you don't have an available IDE connector rhis isn't for you. A DVD drive isn't going to perform any better on SATA. I prefer to keep my SATA connections I'm not using available for additional hard drives, which do perform faster on SATA.

Bought a similar LG burner..mine has LightScribe, but I don't really know if I would buy LightScribe again. It takes more using the LightScribe than burning a CD. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with my LG burner - LG makes good quality burners and this is a pretty good price.
