Same thing. Technically it's a reader/writer (almost all of them read), but when CDs first came out we called the writers "burners" because although we could write to a floppy and change it, once it was on the CD it was unchangeable, in other words we "burned" the image onto the CD. So they became known as burners. But technically they're writers. The terms are interchangeable now.

The term "burner" is just computer jargon for a writer since it uses a laser to burn the information into the disk.

A dvd burner also doubles as a great stove.

SATA is much faster, but older computers don't have SATA controllers on the motherboard. An external USB 2.0 burner would cost more but you could take it with you when you upgrade/replace your computer. The one below requires two usb ports because it is port powered, but it requires no power adapter.

Eventually, IDE port will disappear altogether so will the floppy port. As the LPT port is now only a "wire up" and not part of the "legacy" ports. With the SATA 6 and USB 3 coming into play, many "older" ports will be gone. So for longevity I would go with a SATA CD/DVD.
