Comments on: Core2 Duo to Phase out IDE http://www.forevergeek.com/2006/06/core2_duo_to_phase_out_ide/ Nerds are for Dorks Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:04:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: racketboy http://www.forevergeek.com/2006/06/core2_duo_to_phase_out_ide/#comment-4731 racketboy Tue, 06 Jun 2006 17:51:56 +0000 http://forevergeek.com/?p=3040#comment-4731 I have mixed feelings. I like to recycle parts too, but at the same time, its nice to phase out older standards (floppy drives, anyone?) I guess I would just try to only buy SATA of newer optical technologies (BluRay etc) and by the time you get a machine based on the new chipsets, CD and DVD drives will be less attractive anyway. Just use the older drives on a server based on older hardware or something. If worse comes to worse, I supposed somebody will made adapters. I have mixed feelings.

Look how fast AGP was replaced. If the market likes S-ATA, then it will be phased out fast.

Just like SATA was introduced with third-party chips until is was supported by the chipset, I'm sure the same will happen in reverse to PATA... “Sources indicated that motherboard manufacturers could include third-party chips to re-establish the legacy connections.”
