I'm looking for SATA DVD burner. I'm not looking for added performance, I just want to get rid of the IDE cable. I've heard that there are compatibility issues so are there any drive that will work with my ASUS A8N-SLI Premium?

Otherwise I'll just pick up a $30 dvd-burner.
 
Just get a rounded IDE cable, I agree the original IDE cables suck, but the rounded ones are quite nice and they also look cool.
 
There aren't many choices for SATA DVD burners. I have the Plextor PX-716SA on A8N-SLI Deluxe, which is fairly close to the Premium. It works fine. The PX-755SA is the newer model, unless it is dramatically different, I would expect it to work also.
 
Those plextors are too expensive, still. I'd wait til SATA burners are more mainstream... which should take about 6 months or so?
