∙ 10y ago18 inches was the technology's specified maximum length. 45cm for metric. There are a few 65cm cables out there that work without errors (25.5 inch cables), but they are more expensive and are typically guilded and braided in order to address interference. 90cm (35.5 inch) cables were also made, but I've found these do not work properly outside of specific cases.
18 inches was a good limit, and ensures error-free operation.

What are the disadvantages of SATA?
No disadvantage one disadvantage is that you can't use it in an IDE only box. --- Sata drives can be used in an IDE only computer using a cheap sata to IDE reversible interface. IDE<>SATA SATA<>IDE Another disadvantage is that serial devices driven at high speed can be subject to interferrance if the cable length is too long. This is not unique to SATA (IDE suffers from this too) But until an alternative system such as Fibre optics cable is introduced it will limit lead length. ---
How to connect two hard drives and a dvdcdrw?
Check the motherboard. You can connect two drives to a single parallel cable. Most traditional motherboards have two IDE sockets and you can run a maximum of four drives. (one cable per socket, two drives per cable) but you need to configure the drives with jumpers as "primary" and "slave". Many of the newer motherboards have a "SATA" (Serial ATA) socket or some combination of SATA and IDE but you'd have to use a SATA drive with a SATA cable to use the SATA socket.
