as I'm using this device. My 120mb SSD as boot device does not sound as good as this small DOM(Thanks to Mihaylov!!), so I have to attach the big SSD as a secondary. And I'm moving over to network, as the size and quality of HDD/SSD won't affect SQ too much during data transfer over the network. I have a WD Book Live with 2TB HDD. I can't tell which config sounds better!
Thank for your advice on SP 1 startup. Never mind, I can live with it.
Regarding IDE HDD sounding better than SATA, I think we can't just look at the drive alone, rather it should a bird eyes view on the overall setup. I will no doubt IDE is better sounding, sure it was, at one stage when all SATA drives were using IDE-SATA convertor chips. They were erroneous in data transfer. In fact, I have used IDE drive for CMP in the early stage, but I didn't find them sounding better than SATA ones.
Even if IDE drives would sound better, I'm seriously doubtful if mobos with Intel ICH2 IDE and those old switching regulators would be worth for
use in CMP! No to mention the old CPUs generating high current, heat and noise.
Let the audio guru do what he think is right. We have to compromise and use everyday products. I find this change of hardware giving one motivation, as one switches to a new mobo/cpu and hears the improvement.
I would bored to death to stick with an old mobo, would you not!

but I did not buy yet because at first wanted 128 MB, and already 64МB or even 32МB, and such was not present :).

The info on the Memory Depot & Innodisk websites suggest the DOM SATA drives are powered from the SATA data connector, but the info I've been able to dig up on the connector pinout shows:
1 Ground
2 A+ (transmit)
3 A− (transmit)
4 Ground
5 B− (receive)
6 B+ (receive)
7 Ground

No power there. What am I missing?
Thanks!

Everything matters!
How I realized there are two versions of the SATA DOM:
1. SATA DOM D150S http://www.memorydepot.com/ssd/listcat.asp?catid=satadomD150SV
2. DOM SATA D150 Vertical Built-in Power (pin7) http://www.memorydepot.com/ssd/listcat.asp?catid=satadomD150SVF
"- Does the Disk on Module come with the power Cable?
- All the Disk on Module that requires to get power from the power supply are coming with Power Cable adapter, The USB DOM and 44pin Disk on Module, that get powers from the data connector, doesn't come with any power cable since it is not required. "
(http://www.memorydepot.com/ssd/service.asp).
Dave correctly told about the second version.
A quote from the site just speaks about the first version with power cable. I suppose so. Jack Wong would be able to say exactly.

According to the web site (provided you look hard and get lucky with it), there's a +5v power line on Pin 7 with this connection type. I'm not sure how it's done as Pin 7 is normally, as you note, Gnd. But it seems that conventional SATA interface devices are available - see link.

What a great innovative product! Thanks Jack/Mihaylov.
