I should have known this might come up
I have always been loyal to Plextor (ever since the SCSI days) but I would really like to have your permission nonetheless since you have been a registered user on CDRLabs.com longer than I have.
Thanks!

Arggh, please tell me it won't be out until June. No, No, No. I gave up on Plextor and look what happened to me!
On a side note, it looks exactly like the PX-708A.
wiz,
I am curious as to why you got rid of your PX-708A in favor of a Pioneer DVR-107 in the first place?
I know you were the biggest proponent of Plextor here.
Also, if you switched from your Plextor PX-708A to the Pioneer DVR-107, why are you so upset now that Plextor has announced a burner only slightly faster than the 708A you owned?
Maybe I am missing something?

According to this article (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/45380), Plextor is still investigating the possibility of Dual Layer recording for the PX-712A.

The PX-708A is still here as a second burner, and will be continued to use as such, and as my main DVD+R writer. The DVR-107 will be used for DVD-R @ 8x. The PX-712SA will become my ultra primary burner when I get it.
Why am I pissed? Because I just bought a drive and now I have to buy a new one!
I got the DVR-107 because of the hacked firmware availbility which allows me to write to my RITEKG04's @8x, and the excellent quality at that!
I did need a new drive anyway...Of course, that could have been a Pioneer 120 DVD-ROM!

Functionally, SATA is mere hype and marketing spin on an optical drive.
That's only half of the picture. You are clearly thinking of the transfer speeds only.
Serial ATA's point-to-point nature and no need for half-assed bus arbitration protocols (slave/master on PATA) should ensure that the compatibility problems of having two opticals on the same channel are in the past.
If you haven't run into optical ATAPI drive compatibility problems when run on the same PATA channel, be thankful. I know how painful they can be, having tried several dozens of various drives from various manufacturers sharing the same channel.
Furthermore, if NCQ from SATA II is to be implemented on ATAPI devices, we could see additional higher burst transfers, lower seek times and lower cpu utilisation figures.
As a last point, if you consider that you can PCI bus arbitrate four devices using one IRQ (one SATA controller), you are actually saving resources with SATA. The same on PATA would require 2 IRQs and even then the devices would share the ATA channel.
Putting all this together, SATA is already as it is useful for ATAPI devices and can only become more so in the future.
