ATA133 is getting close to the point where it makes sense in a good many server applications... just one setback... 2 drives per interface... ok how many ide interface cards can I put in a machine? If serial ATA allows me to expand that to say one interface and 15 drives then maybe I can get away with two controllers, four interfaces and 60 drives with software raid 10. I can think of a couple of places that would come in handy, provided it ramains cheaper than scsi.
It's not like Microsoft has ever done anything like this before.:) The proof is in the pudding, when it gets fixed then we can all talk about how they were malaigned. I am not going to hold my breath, however.
After me and my kids spent all weekend worried about where are darn towells were. We went swimming every day.:( How am I gonna tell my kids:( Well I can always read them the books again.

I loved the aprifools stuff and hope they keep it up.
I must concur about no more than one drive per ide interface. I am hopeing that rule will not be pertinent for serial ATA.
