Unless you really need a dvd burner, I'd wait, prices are only going to get better...and it's not like they're any faster than the pata ones...

I'll be so happy to be rid of all pata drives from my system one of these days...

For now, just buy a cheap DVD-Rom, and wait until prices drop to get a new DVD RW. Those SATA drives roxors my soxors.

Lite-on is good - Did you know that Lite-on makes all the Sony branded drives?
