mrsilver76 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi there, I've looked but can't seem to find an answer. Is it better to have a DVD writer which is SATA or IDE? What about the hard drive? Additionally, are there any combinations which should be used or avoided? For example, will a combination of a SATA HD and an IDE DVD writer cause problems? Thanks.

outboost Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I found that PATA CD drive and a SATA HD works well. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122168-sata-or-ide-for-dvd-and-hd/#findComment-869592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
