I'd love for anyone and everyone who owns a SATA based DVD-RW to participate and share the information they have. I'd like to create a complete compatibity list of drives with what chipsets they function properly on. So if you've had a good or a bad experience, please share it here.

Post as much information as possible, but you MUST post at least the DVD-RW Make and Model, the Adapter Card Chipset or Motherboard SouthBridge Chipset AND if using IDE Mode, AHCI Mode or RAID mode.

Everything working flawlessly on my rig. See specs in my signature.

EDIT:
I was running the rig without AHCI enabled until a few days ago when puntoMX posted how to enable AHCI after windows is installed. Now I'm running with AHCI enabled and everything seems just fine *touch wood*.

Lite-On LH-20A1S working on Intel ICH7 and ICH9, all on green (yes).

@ nitroshift, You didn’t post any thing in the topic of AHCI any more, please post your findings .

Can you tell me if that is in IDE mode or AHCI mode?

Samsung SH-203B on ICH9R in RAID and AHCI mode
everything works perfectly in both modes

Added, thanks.

I'll blame the beer and the tequila from the New Year party, punto http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=109450

EDIT:

I was away from home for the New Year party (no pc, no internet) and only got home last night, so I could only post when I arrived home... Info added in the AHCI thread

Can you ask people who've posted compatibility with their SATA drives with their motherboards if that was in IDE, AHCI and/or RAID modes? Thanks.

I can confirm for certain that the LG SATA GH20ns10 does NOT work on the Intel ICH9R chipset for booting. Installation of Windows Server 2008 has been nothing but problems because of this.

Added to the charts. Thanks.

Samsung SH-S183A:
IDE mode: works
RAID mode on ICH9R: definitely NOT!
AHCI mode on ICH7: works

Samsung SH-S223F:

tested on ICH9

IDE mode: works (boot/read/write)
AHCI mode: works (boot/read/write)
RAID mode: N/A

Thank you for updating jcarle.

Thanks for the info guys, chart's been updated.

Running 2 rigs

My Rig:

Asus P5K-DLX Bios 0812;
ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller -- Driver 7.8.0.1012
Non-RAID
Plextor 760A (IDE)

Runs fine IDE/AHCI.

My Son's Rig:

Asus P5E3-DLX Bios 1203;
ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller 2 -- 2926
ICH9R SATA AHCI Controller 1 -- 2920 -- drivers 8.3.0.1016
Samsung SH-S203N
Non-RAID

Runs fine in IDE; Samsung will NOT run AHCI.

Cant figure out why the P5E3 will not work right.

thanks
George
