Not sure this is in the right section... It only applies to Mac Pros, but it's about peripherals and about software... Heck, Alternate Operating Systems, too...
Anyway, if I install two SATA super drives in my Mac Pro, will Parallels and Fusion recognize and use them properly? Are there any incompatibilities that I should be aware of? Thanks.

SATA super drives?
My bad, I thought you where talking about HD's. Yes both superdrives should work just fine.

Have you tried in Parallels or Fusion? That's one of my major concerns.

I thought the stock superdrives were SATA. I have built plenty of PC rigs with SATA burners and they work perfectly fine under XP/Vista/Kubuntu/etc so I see no reason they wouldn't work in parallels.

The stock SuperDrive(s) are PATA, but you have available SATA headers to replace them with SATA drives. Should work just fine in Parallels/VMware because SATA/PATA is abstracted away by the OS.
