So today my old man got a lightscribe SATA DVDRW drive to replace the non lightscribe SATA DVDRW drive in his new Dell, I decided to jump on this opportunity and go all SATA, my hdds are all SATA and I ditched the floppy dirve eons ago and it was abot time I ditched the IDE dvdrw drives I currently have and lose the fat IDE cables altogether!

The Drive is an LG GSA-H13N and a RPCII firmware is out for it (now flashed) so all regionfree. Now I just need to get a second drive as this LG does not write to RAM discs which I use for the DVD recorder downstairs and I'll be set.

Anyone else phased out legacy hardware?

My case looks more empty now

The only downer is that I have a UV CCFL and my IDE cable was fat and round UV reactive so now there is no more coolness inside the case! need to get some UV SATA leads I think

Another good thing is the mobo saw no IDE devices connected as I have the IDE dvd drives as first boot and set the SATA drive as first boot device then the HDD.

Neat!
