I just bought this off ebay to go into my old computer but I sold it when I got my hands on a newer computer with sata drives. I don't even have any ide ports on the new motherboard I guess because it's a small form factor PC. The reason why I bought this burner was because my buddy has a Compaq computer with the same drive in it and he never has any errors when burning a DVD. The Samsung writemaster DVD I used to have would give me errors. Anyway I still have proof on my ebay account to show you I paid over 40 dollars for this and I had to wait a week to get it. You can have his burner right now for 40 dollars. Being that I can show proof of what I paid just 1 week ago I would really like to get what I am asking for this never used Brand new DVD burner.
