SATA optical drives

[rook]

Are there any SATA CD/DVD ROMs/RW in the works? Now I know they'll never use the bandwidth, hell they don't even use the ATA33 they use now. But I just like the neatness of SATA. Even using my round IDE, they are still bulky compared to SATA.

There are a few on the Horizon, like MSI's DR12-A, and you can also use an IDE/SATA adapter if you like the cleaner fit/finish than EIDE. With the 4 port SATA mobos out there, I'll likely convert my Current/Future opticals just for air flow and less clutter.
