If you are going to buy a foreign CD/DVD burner, spend the extra ten bucks and go for a Serial ATA interface book.

If your computer is recent satisfactory it should have SATA ports (like for SATA sturdy drives), which are much faster and have smaller cable. Find out what kind of motherboard you hold, go to the manufacturer's website, and check the precise specs to see if it has SATA ports.
