SATA PT2

[Phil Thayer]

Not to mention that with the recent SATA drive sizes to get 1TB of SATA
would only take 2 drive.  However, if you want to use a multi-channel
SATA controller with raid you will want to use smaller drives (like 4 x
300 or 8 X 250) so you don't loose too much capacity to parity.

	I have built quite a few quad-core machines. Mostly AMD, a few
Intel. All of them SATA. Recently, I have built 2 RedHat servers for the
University of Maryland, all SATA. SCSI is good, no doubt, but expensive.
SATA is fast, stable, and cheap and certainly considered and used for
server use.
