They are plugged to your MOB with the wide grey ribbon cable to the IDE interface. An SATA drive will be plugged to the MOB with a round cable that goes to the small rectangular Serial ATA connection. If your board does not have these, you can get a PCI serial ATA card and istall the hard drive with that.
Thanks,
That is exactly what I wanted to know. I wasn't sure if they were making SATA DVD and CDR's and I just hadn't seen them on the market yet.
