    I didn't know this was possible until I got a shipment of 40 CF-29's in today and 2 of the drives were actually CF-30 DVD burner drives. See the attached pic... :D

    Ahh. I thought there was a thread here detailing the differences between the CF-30/CF-31 and all that went before; I'm pretty sure they stated that the Cf-31 was the first with SATA optical.
