Okay, wasn't certain about that. I have SATA interfaces on my Intel Dual Xeon system, but have not used them (can't afford the drives and am not particularly interested in rebuilding my system at this time). :) What would be the advantage of putting an EIDE (PATA) drive onto a SATA interface? As you note, and I know, none of these drives can even reach the transfer rates of EIDE. RAID maybe, but I would rather SATA drives - right tool for the right job, as it were.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
