A couple of times I forced an 8x dvd to burn at 16x. It always messed up.
How do you burn a 16x dvd at 22x and not end up like I did?

Also, I can't believe they're making that drive IDE. Even if I got it, I wouldn't have room what with the 2 IDE drives on my single IDE channel and 2 sata drives in my system. Needs moar SATA.

Actually you can use an IDE to SATA converter (if you have an open SATA port). Then you could use it

You are correct on this.
A friend of mine had an original DVD drive from when they first came out (I think it was a 4x or 8x).
All he did was update his firmware and it ran at 16x.
