   Hopefully with the introduction of more CD/DVD devices supporting SATA, motherboard makers will start putting up to 8 SATA ports on a motherboard. Two ports just doesn't cut it.

   Wow cool!! Yeah hopefully this will encourage the new SATA generation to evolve a big quicker.Also tark, i think 2 is fine, most people arent going to have more then 1 harddrive, and with 2 ports you got room for a 2nd SATA HD.. and considering there is no floppy/cdrom SATA drives, I think two is good.

   Looks like a waste of a SATA port to me. ;)Just kidding, although the bandwidth really is overkill for an optical drive. Then again, sure beats those big IDE cables!

   Yeah Plextor are a really innovative and quick-off-the-mark company, I would not be surprised if they were the first with a SATA CD-ROM / DVD-ROM drive.
