I recently installed my Sony DWD22A in a completely new system:

P4 3.0 530j
ECS 915p-a
1gb PC3200
WDHD 120gb SATA

In my old system (P3 500, 2 IDE HDDs on primary, CDROM and DWD22A on secondary IDE) my DVDs would burn at 8x in about 5 minutes. Last night I backed up my first DVD on the new system and the times were drastically different. The encoding (DVDShrink 3.2) took 30 minutes, which is long considering there was no compression. The burning (Nero 6.?) however took 1 hour 18 minutes, which is just crazy.

I searched these forums for anything with "SATA" and got no results. When I get home from work I'll check the DVD burnre to make sure it is running DMA, but this issue seems more like a problem with the hard drive.

Any ideas?

something I forgot, the DWD22A burner is the only IDE device attached now. It is set to slave on IDE1 (only one IDE on this board).

I'll have to heck DMA settings when I get home. It's set to slave because I plan on adding a DVD or CD ROM soon. I didn't think that would make a difference though.

My main concern was that I have the SATA hard drive setup wrong since this is the first SATA HDD I've bought. But I have a feeling it will be the DMA setting.

Thanks

are you just useing a single sata drive? or 2x drives for mirror raid setup?

odd you only have 1 ide channel?

my 2x sata HD's are mirror raid and DMA 6

Seems most people thought it was a bad thing this mobo has 1 IDE channel. Since I'll never have more than two optical drives, and probably never use all 4 SATA channels, I have no problem with it.

I currently only have 1 SATA HD. I haven't noticed any extra BIOS for the SATAs but I'll check for that as well when I get a chance.
