80 Wire vs 40 Wire for DVD burner and CDROM
Can I use a 80 wire ribbon cable with my DVD burner and CDRom
or should I use a 40 wire cable? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to either one? Thanks, |

Thanks, It depends on which cable you have handy and if airflow/tidyness is a consideration. In terms of performance on UDMA devices such as your DVD and CDR it wont make a jot of difference.

Thanks, It depends on which cable you have handy and if airflow/tidyness is a consideration. Erh, airflow and tidiness are hardly factors when comparing 80 wire and 40 wire ribbon cables. Striker, you can use either, but if you have a spare 80 wire cable, use that one. It's only at higher speeds than what DVD/CDROM drives usually run at that 80 wire with its better shielding is required, but it will work well for your purpose. So will 40 wire. -- Best regards, Henrik Dissing (e-mail: hendis AT post DOT tele DOT dk) |
