A Double Dose of Optical Drives
"Every Mac Pro comes with a single 16x SuperDrive, but a second bay lets you outfit your Mac Pro with a pair of SuperDrives. Talk about productivity gains, with two 16X SuperDrives, you can simultaneously read from one drive and write to the other. Read from both drives. Or even write to both." (From http://www.apple.com/macpro/design.html)
Has anybody tested this yet? Meaning, is it possible to import music into iTunes from both drives at the same time? Or is it possible to burn the same (or different) iDVD or DVD Studio Pro projects at the same time? Etc. Basically, what IS possible?

Dragon Burn is suppose to burn CDs/DVDs to two different optical drives at the same time. Although, I never got this to work.

I think the option is probably there to allow media pros to have both an HD-DVD and Blu-Ray drive, or allowing a slightly larger scale disc duplication system without an external box.
If I get a Mac Pro, I'll probably take advantage of the extra space and drive connector for an ATA drive.
