Question on sata cards for sata dvd burners

[phillyman36]

Hey question my Asus P5W DH Deluxe from the way i read it has 4 sata ports(3 mobo port and 1 esata) There are 2 other sata ports controlled by the jmicron controller and they look like they can only be used for raid. My question is can i buy a sata card and use that to run sata dvd burners without any problems? the 3 sata ports on my rig have all 3 of my hard drives. Im thinking about switching to sata dvd burners to reduce the cable clutter.

So basically can sata pci cards be used for dvd burners without any problems ie loss of speed etc etc

thanks for any help

I have a computer in which I have a PCIe sata controller installed, it works fine. You should have no trouble with a sata dvd burner.

I have a DVD/RW plugged in the jmicron controller on my Abit AN8 32x board, and it works fine. No need for an expansion card.
