Two issues with that:

You can buy SATA to PATA connectors to go on the back on PATA disk and cdrom
drives to connect them to SATA. I have one but don't use it,

I'd have to disagree for now. Legacy is when it's starting to become

Good, in principle Linux shouldn't have a problem with their IDE chip
