Uh, let us say that if i get a mobo, with a SATA and ATA connectors,
could i connect up 2 X 200 GB (+DVD burner) on ATA
and a 1 X 200GB on SATA at the same time?
Or do you have to use either SATA or ATA at one time?

Cheers.

You can use both ports at the same time. I got two SATA in RAID0, a regular ATA hard drive, and a cd-rw/dvd drive connected to my motherboard that works just fine.
