I've been using some SATA disks for a primary staging pool for a few months. It was the only storage we had at the time . . . so I used it. This was SATA in a EMC Clariion. Config'ed as raid5 In general, I was quite happy with it's performance. Now . . .the BUT's . . . I grabed about 1tb across 30-40 lightly used spindles in multiple Raid5 raidsets. In other words, I had enough spindles to get the iops/throughput I needed. According to EMC's docs, these SATA disks are capable of around 60 iops.
