OT.
Why vmware never went with sata so far which is a shame because if not all motherboards now have sata. Maybe because vmware sees NAS and other server end products as their breadwinner for profit. Do servers only have NAS, SCSI or do they also have SATA !! And if sata is the replacement for IDE (motherboards and drives) why not do same with vmware virtual products replace IDE with SATA though better would be have all three IDE, SATA and SCSI
Because the virtual motherboard is an Intel 440BX chipset, which existed before SATA was invented (and also USB bootable devices - also why no option for those).
