In preparing to buy a few cables to perform my first build (OEM Lite-On DVD ROM and Sony DVD Burner), I figured out neither SATA Drive has Digital or Analog Connections.

Audio is a main driver of this particular build and was planning on a high end sound card that runs with Vista 64 bit.

Will the lack of Digital or Analog Connections cause me problems - Not being able to connect to the sound card? Should I be installing one IDE based CD ROM so I have the connection?

Any and all comments / input is appreciated.

Thanks!

SATA is fine. Digital signal will be transferred to sound card through bus

Good news. One less cable to have to route. Thanks

Pardon a basic question, I'm also deciding between a SATA burner vs. an EIDE. What does a SATA II burner has to offer that an EIDE one doesn't? Speed? Accuracy?
