Just wondering if enabling both the read and write caching setting of the SATA controller properties for the SH-S203D burner will enhance its performance ? Any form of assistance will be appreciated. Thanks …

Unless you tell us the exact model/make of the “SATA controller” any answer to your question would be kinda useless.
I’m using the nvidia nforce 430/410 SATA controller.

[QUOTE=chef;1968396]Which has what chipset?[/QUOTE]Nforce 430 or 410. 
Both are basically the same (also use the same drivers), the 410 is crippled compared to the 430: http://www.nvidia.com/page/gpu_mobo_tech_specs.html
Ugh, I never liked that nForce mobo chipsets.
By the way, I just realized that both cache settings could not be enabled at the sata controller properties panel. I tried clicking on both of the checkboxes but was unable to change their state.
