Any benefits of using an adapter for my old PATA drive so that I can
hook it up to the SATA port on my motherboard? I dig the increased
airflow due to the thinner cables, but the cheaper circuit board
adapters look like dust magnets. Also, I have three IDE devices which
each run natively at different UDMA speeds: a mode 5 hard disk, a mode 4
DVD writer and an old LS-120 drive whose speed I forgot (it's currently
unplugged until I need it again). Splitting them all onto different IDE
channels would be good, I guess.
