Are you looking for a 3.5" SATA solution? If yes , then you can get yourself an external HDD SATA case from Transcend or other cheap brands.Else you can go for this. I dont know where you are from but this cable is available locally in Kolkata.

Seriously, even I wonder at times why Techcom introduced only the IDE version.:mad:

Anyway it works like a charm ... I have burned a few CDs with my old ASUS cd writer. No problem so far. :cool:
