DVD cable connector with SATA HD
I am in the process of building a computer and I am using a WD 160GB SATA HD. My question is do I connect the DVD burner to the primary or seconday IDE connector on the MB when using a SATA HD? TIA

It dosent matter which one you connect it to, I have done it both ways.
Right now, i have 2 sata drives on my controller and 4 opticals on my ide controller. Just make sure SCSI or SATA is in the boot order somewhere and you should be good to go HTH |

Another question along the same lines.......I am running Sata HDD but on the opticals (DVD and CD-RW) should I connect one to primary and one to secondary or both on one connector?

Drives on separate connectors is always the better way to go if you have the option.
