Now we're
starting to switch to SATA for the same reason.
UGH, SATA, at least in this first generation, is a mess. I've been
following some of the T13 standards discussions about it, and
things don't look very pretty there.
Our local 'white box' PC builder is now advising against SATA drives
because the little connectors keep falling off in transit (just the
journey by courier from workshop to customer). They don't really wnt
to glue them in...
