Hi Friends,
I'm planning to buy a SATA DVD-Writer. I would like to know whether my Motherboard will support the SATA DVD Writer.
Motherboard: ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe Mainboard.

SMPS: AC 230V ATX-Switching Power Supply Model: LC-B500E (Total Output: 500W)
Cabinet: Zebronics ATX Cabinet Model: ZEB-211A-Elegance
OS: Windows XP SP2
The motherboard says " 2 Serial ATA channels via Silicon Image Sil3112À controller with RAID 0 and 1, 0+1 support "
A website says the following...
NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset doesn’t support the SerialATA interface and ASUS made up for this deficiency by integrating a Sil3112A chip from Silicon Image into the mainboard. It supports two SerialATA devices that you can unite into a RAID array of level 0 or 1. In fact, the SerialATA interface, originally a server technology, has long ceased to be a privilege of a small number of selected mainboards only – mainboard manufactures felt that users were interested in this technology and did their best to meet their demands.
So friends I would like to know two things...
If I buy a SATA DVD Writer will my motherboard support it.
1.) Will I be able connect the SATA Drive to my Motherboard ?
2.) Will there be any change in Power Connector or Pins in the DVD Writer?
Thanks a lot.
