Need a definitive answer from at least two people...?
MY computer is an IDE connection for optical drives ok? If I buy this product

Can I then install my new pioneer Dvd burner which needs Serial ATA hookups for power and data transfer?
I'm slightly computer retarded, but the main reason was it said nothing about being a SATA dvd burner...
I think I am just going to return it for a refund and get a IDE burner
No. That device goes the wrong way - it allows a parallel ATA (IDE) drive to be connected to a Serial ATA controller. You need an adapter that's the other way around.
Is there some reason you didn't buy a Parallel ATA DVD drive?
