You are limited to the number of SATA ports you have in your pc but if you have extra pci slots, you can buy additional sata/ide cards from cdxx or any pc store out there. Then make sure your linux os detects these additional ports. Once your sata ports are in place, its your choice of software for the burning. This is definitely doable.
