Show me a 15kRPM SATA drive with the capability to truly know that the data
has hit the platter (essential for journaling filesystems and ACID compliant
databases). Pity. :-) One will probably be available soone enough, but by
that time the 4u 4+TB of hot swap SCSI will also be a reality.
Incidentally, ATAPI == SCSI over IDE. Crippled SCSI over IDE at that.
