I would agree with your view on IDE becoming obsolete on hard drives, but I as yet, am not aware of any CD/DVD drives with a SATA interface.


That's something that amazes me - why aren't there anu SATA CD/DVD drives? Seems to me that CD/DVD could have the same benifits of using a thin cable and eventually getting away from the IDE interface. Or - since there are usually plenty of USB 2 ports, why not have a CD/DVD that internally connect to USB?

Another thing I've wondered about was why not build a 3 1/2 inch CD/DVD drive? There are plenty of the small disks available. Seems like a logical product to develop.
