    Trying to hook SATA DVD through USB with no success


    My computer has all 4 SATA ports already in use and so I don't have an extra one to connect my full size internal SATA DVD.

    I tried to hook it through an USB port using one of those external USB HDD conectors with cables but it didn't work. The DVD lights up, opens and closes the tray but that's all. It doesn't spins the disc and also doesn't get recognized by the system.

    Any idea?

    :)

  3. SATA DVD-RW Drives

    Hey Guys,

    So, I finally just bought my new rig: EVGA A1 Mobo (w/ 6 SATA Slots), 2 WD Raptors (SATA - Gonna RAID 0 Boot), 4 Seagate 320GB Barracuda's (SATA - Gonna RAID 5 Storage).
    However, I realized I also bought 2 DVD-RW drives, in SATA *Eek! Trying to hook SATA DVD through USB with no success :eek: not enough SATA ports on the mobo...

    So a couple of questions follow:
    1) Is SATA really faster for DVD-RW drives than IDE?
    2) Is there anyway to Inline/Series the (2) SATA DVD-RW drives, kinda like you do with IDE (Master/Slave)?
    3) Are there any SATA-->IDE reverse adaptors (not the opposite, I know those exist)?
    4) Based on the above answers, should I:
    • a) Get a PCI-E SATA RAID Card to Handle One of the RAID Arrays, and keep the DVD-RW drives as SATA? (although those are dang expensive, AND I don't know where that PCI Card is gonna fit - got an 8800gtx, PCI Slot-Cooler, Wifi card... an extra slot but no room down there)
    • b) Return the DVD-RW SATA drives and get (2) IDE DVD-RW drives?
    • Another option that won't require me spending a lot of money?
    Eesh, I'm kinda stuck on my build if I don't have a CD Drive to read from for Windows Install(I don't have any extra ones sittin around - and I want to install my RAID 5 Storage array right away)

    Suggestions?*Confused Trying to hook SATA DVD through USB with no success :confused:

    Booting off USB/DVD fails (UEFI)

    Hi Dalchina,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    The USB was created by Microsoft's MediaCreationTool. (I have done this many times just in case too). As was the DVD which I have had for a while, and other pc's boot off this.

    I will try your suggestions. But yes either USB or DVD was at the top of the list for the BIOS of course.
