Hi Duncan,

As you had said SATA drives, I assumed they were SATA not PATA.

How do they connect - does the cable have different connectors on each 
end - SATA on the mobo end and 80-wire on the drive-end?
Or do they have an interface adapter similar to the "Z" shaped 
80/68-pin/50-pin SCSI adapters which effectively lengthens the drive so 
that it may not fit into a removable drawer insert?

My ATA-100 removable disk drawers are also hot-swappable if using 
specific software under current Windoze!
