Thanks Steve, it was why i posted it, if there was some cool stuff that would use SATA it would mention it. the wiki is on page 2 of a goole search for "SATA connection, what can be connected" page 1 was all about hard drives and optical problems. I posted a summary of it all.

Basicly "SATA replaces the IDE cable, is not a replacement for USB." if i said that i would be a smartass. instead i posted a summary of the 3/4 hour search i did to see if there was anything else that uses SATA connection.

man thats really sad to think its only limited to two things Hard Dives and optical drives only.

i would think other hardware MFG would made up some cool thing to use in them ports like a drive bay panel for sounds or something to use them SATA connections to plug-in to.

get some more hard drives

i have no sata ports left 1.1TB

[Hellfighter]

you can get 1TB drives for quite cheap now, 750 is not new
