I am currently building my own pc, and im looking for cd drives. i need a dvd drive, but i dont know what speed i need. i am going to be gaming, but im not sure if i need a normal cd drive to have better speeds or anything, im at a loss.

You would be better off with a DVD drive that will read and write. CD drives are somewhat obsolete now.

ok, i was wondering because my impression was that cd would go faster than dvd for some reason, but what would be a good speed?

almost forgot, im looking for sata drives

I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I had a Dell Dimension 4300. Boy, was I glad to retire that thing. :)
