I have switched over most of my small server installs over to SATA raid
using the intel SRCS16 raid controller and the 10K 36 gig raptor drives. So
far other then one of the cables breaking off the connector during shipping,
I have not had any probelms. On the smaller system running around 25 users,
I can not say that I can notice any speed differences between SCSI and SATA.
I am sure on the bigger customers there would be a difference, but for the
price difference SATA works extremely well for us. This is on 5.06 and
5.07, I have not tried it out on 6.0 yet.
