Optical Drive Sata or IDE ! ?

Hi, I am hoping to get buy a new optical drive for the PC which supports DVD DL - R wrting. on the OC site there is a Samsung drive that supports this.
How ever there is both a IDE & Sata formats ! :

I take it that I should get the Sata one as access speed will be slightly better and I have 2 or 3 spare Sata ports on my MoBo ! ?

I current use one Sata port on my MoBo for my Sata 1 Hard Drive.
This is not RAIDed

Many thanks
