and they're like $25. i don't know about you but 1/4 or 1/2 the price of a hard drive for the adapter?

by the time anyone actually NEEDS the adapter, then they will be cheaper.

yes but im saying eventually they wont even make pata drives at all. SATA will take over since its so cheap and now that intel threw it in the chipset

True, but your missing the point of the thread. The point is simply that it is anything anyone NEEDS right now
