I haven't kept up on harddrive issues, however one of the benifits of scsi was its onboard controler that did the work so that the cpu(s) didn't. I do not believe that SATA has that controler, but its just overall faster. Perhaps I'm wrong?
Edit: Were having a server thats going though a mass of bandwidth, might considering switching it, or the other site we (my client) have on it to one of these single dual core machines. And I'd like to move some of our eggs out of the basket. They also have a large chunk of expandable bandwidth for a decent price. Anyone know what their network is like?
