| I heard about that before... hdd's with a built-in convertor, or controllers with a built-in converter. Conclusion: fake and marketing. Nice for the save of space, but not worth the money. If true ofcourse...

| 200 USD even for the latest 120GB Maxtor 7,200-RPM HDD with 8MB buffer memory sounds too expensive to me, but it is Tokyo where computer hardware products except DVD writers are generally more expensive than Pricewatch. They usually sell a small quantity of CPU, HDD, ODD, and other new products for premium price and later reduce it to a more acceptable level when they become more widely available. I expect SATA 80GB 8MB HDD to be around 100 USD and SATA 120GB 8MB HDD to be around 150 USD when they arrive at many US retail stores in the next few weeks. I'll begin to buy Serial ATA HDDs and ODDs after I have some motherboards with Intel's ICH5 or similarly-featured chipsets from VIA, SiS, ALi, or even NVidia.

| nice pic to bad you cant see the other side (bottom) now you cant see if it is a real serial ata or just a adapter revision. but seagate is most likely to bring out the first serial ata hd's so is pic looks more real for me then the maxtor one.
