Jeff...you can always buy adapters from Abit for your hard drives. I presume you have a Raid board like me. My hard drives work absolutely fine using Abit serial drive adapters on a raid board. I have one adapter spare as I bought 2 when I only needed one.

Actually the loss through parallel to s-ata adapters is pretty insignificant and the sped difference between the fist gen S-ata drives and the the top dog Parallel drives is also pretty insignificant, but I would be the same to if s-ata did it for me, but it doesn't in it's current guise

A new review of the technology:

Hate to say that I told you so, but really not that impressive at all

My drives outperform this new technology on all of the same tests as they use in that review, although, I don't have all of the benchmarking software that they use.

Cheers,

Nick.

Seagate should be the first to bring drives to market according to The Inquirer, and within the next month or so.
