Hello All,
I am very interested in Serial ATA and the ease of cabling that it would allow. I would like to see Parallel ATA go by the wayside but for that CDROMs and DVDs need to support Serial ATA.
1] Does anyone have any info on the ETA for Serial ATA CDROMs and DVDs will be available in the retail channel?
I also am interested in seeing Native Command Queuing in hard drives and I did a bit of quick research. Some of you might find this interesting too so I will list the links I found.

2] I do not see any mention of Native Command Queuing in the Seagate Barracuda datasheet. Does anyone know if any shipping Seagate or other drive has Native Command Queuing?
Thanks,
