SubjectRe: Does Linux support powering down SATA drives?

That's something that amazes me - why aren't there anu SATA CD/DVD
drives? Seems to me that CD/DVD could have the same benifits of using a
thin cable and eventually getting away from the IDE interface. Or -
since there are usually plenty of USB 2 ports, why not have a CD/DVD
that internally connect to USB?

Another thing I've wondered about was why not build a 3 1/2 inch CD/DVD
drive? There are plenty of the small disks available. Seems like a
logical product to develop.
