Recommendation on SATA optical drive?
Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2006 2:52 am
I just bought a new HP computer, and guess what, no PATA ports! Nada, zip. There are only SATA ports on the motherboard. Big bummer since I have a bunch of PATA optical drives that I want to use.
Seems to me that there is only Plextor, the PX-755SA. kinda expensive at more than $100, while I already have a bunch of $40 NEC drives. any other option? I tried using a promise Ultra ATA PCI card, but it won't work if I only connect an optical drive on it.
