Along time ago someone much smarter then me told me DATA is DATA is
DATA. It doesn't matter if it is on CD/DVD/USB Key/SCSI/IDE/SATA as
long as the host system can see and read the drive it doesn't matter
what format it is stored on.

As for different kind of drives, most servers will have atleast one
IDE connection somewhere on the motherboard (for DVD/CD rom) if not I
always have one of these is my bag of tricks:

For $10 you can almost not afford to have one.

I think that might have been a "trick" question.
