Well, I like this IDE-to-DMA (ACSI) solution:

Anyway, as the IDE (PATA) is dead and replaced by SATA, there is not much use for IDE interface in Atari (except CF cards, but that will disappear when they will not be made anymore, too).

now this would be a good idea for us all as it saves them going dead from being powered all the time
