I think they're missing the boat by not offering the internal as SATA and not having the SATA connector on the external model.Why have 2 i-link and no SATA?What % of owners use the i-link connector?

Most new mainboards have 4 to 8 SATA connectors and some have an esata port.My new mainboard has 8 SATA 300 and an esata but only 1 ide channel for 2 devices.

I've owned the SATA LG GSA-H30N since early July without even a small hic-cup.

The puzzling thing is about the 12X DVD-RAM spec.Why have it if there's no Maxell 6X~12X DVD-RAM except in Japan.Are the drives more expensive to make with this feature that most people outside of Japan can use?
