Stay in your grave, IDE!
NO.
SATA(N) IS BANISHED FROM THIS HOUSE
Edit: wait actually this is dumb. Isn't every single modern drive IDE, as in they have their controller onboard? The 40 pin connector is PATA
IIRC Apple drives, like those in the Mac Studio, use a version of NVMe that doesn’t have the controller onboard which is why they were so hard to reverse engineer.
That's "Bare" NVMe, the linux kernel supports such devices but I really fail to see the fucking poing™
Apple of course probably did so to fuck the consumer

IDE was fine.
Molex, however, can go fuck itself to eternity.
...and yet IDE is phased out and Molex lives on to torment us.

I sure don't miss having to move the stupid jumpers for master/slave drives and then losing one of the bastards and having to try and jam a paperclip alongside the pins with some scotch tape to insulate it. Cable select was always a lie.
Wow, I had forgotten doing this. Amazing. I remember seeing m.2 drives probably 5 years after they came out and going wtf is this thing. I'll be dead soon jim

Don't forget SCSI termination. There was always some extra piece of junk you needed to make it all work. No wonder we all have "the box" in the basement/attic with all the extra cables squirreled away.
Now you take a tiny board a little bigger than a stick of gum, and press it onto the motherboard. Smaller footprint than a DIMM, mind-blowing amounts of solid-state storage. Drives? Naw, we just have chips where the "1"s stick around after you turn it off.
You kids have "serial" ATA? Ohhhh, watch this. Imma shoot these bits down this set of wires. Simultaneously.
I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago
Guess the BDSM folks with their Master/Slave relationships are included in Pride.
What's that suposed to be? Seems like I have another meaning for "IDE"
The IDE standard was used to connect hard drives and optical drives in from the late 80’s to the mid 00’s. Also known as ATA, it was renamed Parallel ATA when its successor, Serial ATA (SATA) came onto the scene.

IDE Master Slave Month
No….
Wait ..!!! It wasn’t meant like that!!!
Nice jumper. ;)
Heh, remember bent pins?
Still have a big bag of 40pin IDE cables in my closet. Probably time to say goodbye one of these days.
The second you get rid of them you are gonna need them
I've used them to extend arduino connectors in the past. Works great.

Yeah it's not worth the risk
Better hang onto them for another 10 years, you'll never know when IDE makes a comeback.

Thats a terrible idea you might need those for some reason in the future and the only way to assure you don't is by keeping them forever and making them your next of kins problem.
Big ol’ ribbon cables are useful for not-ide things
I love the PATA PATA of ~~little feet~~ old drives.
Those socks will get pretty SCSI.
This is your yearly reminder to check your jumper settings.
Beware the Integrated Drive Electronics of ~~March~~ June
I'm loving these parodies
Where were these drives in March?
