True, but that may just be a flaw of the built in controller, not of
SATA. You can't connect scsi at all to many machines, which doesn't
make scsi broken. You can get SATA controllers that run 24 drives if
you want, and unlike scsi, they don't even share the connector but
instead use one cable per drive.
