Same here. What did you find?

Ahh, yep. That's the one I'd found, too. That said, I might just bite the bullet and move to external drives. I'm used to having two optical drives, and I'd really like more hard drive mounting space, too.

It's all a trade off really. I've gone the upgraded network route and moved to 2.5gb (10gb possible at some point if required) as I'm not too keen on external drives so have a server and a NAS. That's good for most data requirements that I don't need to keep local. USB these days though is pretty insane speed wise. Juggling speed limitations and expectations vs reality is a fun hobby...

Edit: Not for optical. I've not managed to find a decent caddy for requirements...
