OzHardware - ASUS DRW-1814BL/T Internal DVD Writers, SATA vs. IDE Comparison

Comparision of two ASUS drives : DRW-1814BL/T.

Our next test is using Nero Burning ROM to write a full 4.7GB DVD-R disc in each drive ... we see a huge difference in burn times, with the IDE drive almost 3 minutes behind the Serial-ATA ...

... the tests speak for themselves, and whilst these test results can only be seen as true for these particular ASUS models, and not for all brands that offer both IDE and SATA drives, it clearly shows that this SATA drive has a more reliable transfer rate, which will equate to more reliable discs and faster read/write times.

The only flaw the SATA drive may have is that some older motherboards won’t support using the SATA drive with bootable CDs, such as Windows CD/DVDs.

3 min difference is hard to believe ... the ide cable must be faulty or maybe the ide drive itself :P
 
yep...has to be a faulty review....2 minutes for a 4.7Gig burn on 16X...not possible
 
Length of write time is not as important as how "well" it was written.

So yeah...useless review.
