Hi Kevin,

Serial ATA 2 will be out soon, and, as the current ATA is said by some
to be not quite up to scratch, I'd not worry about it yet.

Not to mention it is way to expesnsive for the amount of HD space you
get for the buck. I would buy SCSI before I would buy SATA.

SCSI comes with it's own issues :
- Extra PCI card needed
- Usually higher power useage
- Higher drive temperatures
- Cost

Apart from the somewhat small capacity, what's wrong with the new Western
Digital Raptor series? They blow away EVERY other IDE drive, and almost all
7200 rpm SCSI drives. And they make less mess in your case, since Serial
ATA cables are very compact, SPECIALLY compared to SCSI.
