And it's unlikely for me to see them in the near future, for various resasons, one of them is because I tend to use SCSI if at all possible... ;) SATA *still* is quite new, and there isn't much *good* SATA hardware out there (think NCQ for example, which just does not exists on alot of controllers and harddrives; and 5-years old average SCSI disk performs alot better on random I/O compared to modern *good* EIDE (no SATA here, remember?) disk, even when the latter is much faster on linear I/O, with larger cache etc...). All that "PATA to SATA converters" still built into some drives which are really PATA internally but made to work on SATA bus with a converter.. and other scary things... ;) /mjt
