When I bought my first burner (Sony DW-U10A) I installed it as the slave to the DVD-ROM which was already installed in the computer. I have had pretty good success burning DVD+R's with first DVDXCOPY then decrypter and shrink. I'M getting ready to change out my DW-U10A with a newer version and was wondering if there are any benifits to making the burner the master and the reader the slave. Will it improve burn time? As I said before, other than taking what seems like forever to burn at 2.4X I really haven't made many coasters. Just wondering since I was going to be under the hood anyway.

Thanks

MQM107,
It will probably be OK but the recommended way is burner as master on the secondary IDE channel and the DVD-Rom as slave on the same channel

It makes absolutly no difference.... Either way it will work the same.

Depending on how old your motherboard is thought it could help to put your burner on the same cable as your Hard Drive. Some older mother boards have only one IDE channel that supports Ultra DMA 4/5 so you see this could improve the speed of your burner, but I doubt it will be enough to even notice if you are burning without errors at 2.4 then i would suggest you loeave well enough alone. Are you saying the burning is taking a long time or is it the ripping? 2.4x will take probably around 30-45 min on average if it takes longer than that you might have a problem somewhere..

My Dell came from the mfr with the DVD Rom installed as the master and the CDRW Burner as the slave. I ran USB drives for about a year and half, but about 2 months ago put in an internal DVD Burner and took out the CDRW leaving the DVD Burner as slave. It runs fine and burns at 8x which is as high as I would want to burn. The Rom drive rips at 12x for single layers and 7x for double so this set up has worked out.
