there are only a few sata dvd disk drives and they're dead expensive

but good news (and no i didnt save a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to geico)

you dont need a sata disk drive, and ide disk drive for your dvds should be just fine, just get a dvd ide cable instead of the regular ones, works better

yeah haha, just make sure you have enough slots, should be enough for four devices, and remember to set the dvd drive as master in the jumpers because it requires more power

i myself have this configuration

we try to be as helpful here as we can, also because theres a helpful points war between some users here, we get points via the "thanks" button
