This is turning into a pretty good thread. I booked it. RMO.

Gotcha! Much obliged! RMO.

I'm not sure I understand this. Does this mean you can connect all the hardware and just switch modes back and forth between SATA and IDE/Legacy without switch any cables between SATA and Legacy? Pardon my ignorance, I'm new at this and am planning on buying a bad axe 2. RMO.
