I'm curious if SATA will turn out to have the same issues as IDE, or
if it'll be more SCSI-like. Having only one drive per cable seems
like an improvement, at very least.
It's getting hard to justify the price premium of SCSI drives, not to
mention the configuration difficulties. (I have lots of SCSI horror
stories, mostly involving termination problems or devices that
couldn't stand to exist on the same bus with each other.)
