yeah i believe this PATA drive needs some f/w work then it might be as good or better than it's SATA counter part.

If you want a good fast 18X drive i would recommend the LG GSA H42N/L for PATA and the LG GSA H62N/L for SATA. I have both and they are very fast accurate burners.

Unfortunately, only the GSA-H42LK is available here. But I was looking for a fast ripper and a scanner too.

Thanks mciahel.

I feel bad for Dee-27.

She works hard for days with S203B review and then we just hijack her thread. Guys, you should know better!
