databurner Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 will I face problems using a SATA to USB to connect an internal DVD burner to burn DLs ? Anybody tried this before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 All external optical drives have exactly this... and obviously they work ok! Well, I say 'all', the latest blu-ray ones probably need eSATA or something for true 12x BD burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I say 'all', the latest blu-ray ones probably need eSATA or something for true 12x BD burns. Great ! I only was able to find one LG model in IDE (GH22NP20) , but its not famous, I will go for the lite on SATA (iHAS324-23y) with the cables.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Just so you know, the new LiteOns come in 2 models - 'iHAS324 A' and 'iHAS324 Y' The 'A' is the true/normal LiteOn, the 'Y' is more like an Optiarc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
databurner Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) Just so you know, the new LiteOns come in 2 models - 'iHAS324 A' and 'iHAS324 Y' The 'A' is the true/normal LiteOn, the 'Y' is more like an Optiarc. I have no clue what does that mean, should I be looking for the A ? what SATA drive do you recommend in general ? Where I live there is no pioneer or Asus or plextor, only some Samsung, LG, Lite on.... New: I just checked Lite on (iHAS324-32 A) on cdrinfo , they didn't like the burning and said Optiarc is better ? I found out the 32A from the pictures. On clubmyce they classifying the drive based on the number: Drives ending in -08 or -09 are Lite-On drives (MediaTek chipset). Drives ending in -32 or -98 are Optiarc drives (NEC chipset) So 32 is Optiarc now ????? So what is the truth ? and what version is the best ? I found out that a store here has Sony(oem) (he calls it Sony) and I found out that a couple of months ago he was selling (I wrote it on his buissness card last time) AD-5240S I guess that Optiarc ?? I also found LG GH22NP20 I want to go grab one today and start burning DL, Can somebody help here plz ??? update: later in the thread they realized that there are 32A & 32Y and according to cdrinfo 32A is not good and they say Optiarc is better , they are refering to Optiarc AD7240S but I don't have that here so whats my best choice? LG GH22NP20 Lite on iHAS324-32A Sony? AD5240S Edited May 20, 2010 by databurner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 The 5240S should be the same as 7240S but without DVD-RAM support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

databurner Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 The shop with Sony was closed I wasn't sure if I will find the same model I found last time. I ended up buying Samsung SH-S223F / RSBS F/W: SB02 I hope it is good as I read on cdrinfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 There's SB03 for that burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
databurner Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) mmalves ,I did it but why if I choose DVD-ROM as booktype in imgburn and go out of the settings and come back and choose dvd+r dl, it says settings unknown ? update: Tried burning and got this while verifying : Failed to read Sector 500134 Reason - Logical Unit Communication Parity Error plz anybody can help ? Update: I tried verfiying using my old burner which is IDE burner and it was succesfull !! It seems that the message has something to do with the slow connection type I had SATA/USB because the verifying went to 10X on my IDE burner so maybe it was trying to speed up but USB couldnt handle the speed.
