    Default DVD burner writes slow from SATA and fast from PATA...

    I have a DVD burner, Sony DRU700A, and it burns files much more slowly from the SATA drive than from the PATA drive...
    It took me 27 minutes to burn a DVD files which were located on the SATA drive, and it took me just 9 minutes to burn the exact same files from the PATA drive, using the same DVD media and the same writing speed.

    How could that be?

    MY system spec is :
    Pentium 4 2.6GHZ, Jetway m/board 865 chipset, 1GB DDR400 SDRAM, Western Digital 80GB PATA drive, Western Digital 160GB SATA II drive, Sony DRU700A DVD burner which is attached to the same IDE cable of the PATA drive.

    Thanks,
    Udi G

    You probably don't have the correct SATA drivers installed!
    Try installing the SATA drivers that came with the motherboard!

    Problem was solved, connected it to SATA no.2 port instead of the SATA no.1 port and that was it...

    Thanks anyway

    Hi,

    I'd like to add that I was encountered again tonight with the same problem that I had a few days ago.
    Writing speed for the SATA drive were slow once again, so I ran a check using 'Nero InfoTool' and saw that the DMA for the SATA drive was turned off, and in the Device Manager the DMA mode for it was set on PIO mode.
    I've looked it up on the web and I saw that it was caused by DMA timeouts and it can mean that either the HDD or the Motherboard is faulty. Anyway, I've unsinstalled a Secondary IDE Channel, and when Windows started up again it recognized it again and now the DMA is on again.

    What shall I do? Replace the board? (I'll never buy a cheap board again...)

    Did you try installing the SATA drivers?

    I don't see any connection installing the SATA drivers....
    If it worked well for 3 days why did it stop? If it were for the drivers it wouldn't work from begining.
