SATA is the SCSI of the 00s. It's full of problems, doesn't really
work right, and confers minimal benefits.

RAID striping and redundancy probably makes sense for servers that are
constantly sending/receiving massive amounts of data on a network, and
have techies to keep them up... but for the home user, what's the
payoff?

I said this before and someone told me I was full of crap, but here is
more evidence.

I use a 40gb internal IDE drive and a firewire drive for mass storage.
I'm not saying it's the way to go, but I will say it causes no
problems and everything is plenty fast.

However, I'm not running Vista and have no plans to do so until it
offers something I want and can't get on a 32-bit system.
