Your talking about optical drives such as cd/dvd? They make them now...I have one....They benefit with faster transfer rates. ata 133=1.33mb/s sata=1.5mb/s sata3gb(some people call it SATA II which its not)=3.0mb/s COrrect me if im wrong.
Either that or in rehab, or maybe dead from overdose...

Curious RichPLS?
Do you ever actually help anyone out here?
If you do I must have missed it, I see your comments in the Help Sections all the time, but nothing of any worth to anyone, more like an annoyance than a Help, so are you just a lost tourist or building up your post count?
Ahh, yea they do make SATA opticals. [/helpful tech from India]

<A HREF="http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_content.asp?id=opticalsata&page=1&cookie_test=1" target="_new">This </A> is a pretty interesting review since I'm a Plextor fan myself, but the performance is very disapointing to say the least, and not really a viable replacement option for IDE optical drives yet, pricewise and performance wise.
What about any other drives besides that plextor? While no optical drive out there can currently flood the ATA133 interface, working with those cables is a pain, and the price of the plextor keeps me from going for it.
As I said, I know that an optical can't flood the IDE line, let alone a SATA line. The only reason I want SATA optical drives is to clean up cable management, cause IDE cables are horrible to work with, even if you get the round ones.
