What ever happened to these? It seems they kind of faded in on a few drives, then just blanked out. Now, there's only one SATA model on Newegg which has a 2 star rating.
Is there a specific disadvantage to SATA optical drives?

It costs more, has no better performance, Windows will not even detect it without installing the drivers.. it by large is useless.. a well designed IDE setup works just as well for alot cheaper...
Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.
