SERIAL ATA DISKS ARE A REALITY NOW: A FIRST HERE...
Good review by tom Basically its not much faster, obviously limited by the drives themselves now, as ata100/133 give almost 0 speed increase. Ill be glad to finally be rid of those stupid IDE ribbon cables though, but i think ill just get an IDE/SATA adaptor for my drives for the time being.

Well i cant exactly say that Toms is my favorite hardware site on the web but i can give him credit for a good review when he does one
I can see the point in the future 300mb standards but 600mb!!! The drives just need to get faster not the actual interface :x
Someone really needs to invent a decent drive with no spinny platters or moving parts though, i mean imagine the speed and reliability of a drive which kept everything in memory

go to www.westerndigital.com and buy some drivezilla
You can tell all your friends youve got a RAID5 drivezilla array

That was good, like Tom used to be. Some of his articles have been biased and/or full of BS, but that laid it out like it is. He explained how SATA is still limited by the drives themselves and how the PCI bus comes into play here.
