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.
