Get a 12 or 16 or 24 port Areca card and have a few hot spares and
you will see SATA fly for less money than SCSI with higher storage
and as high or higher reliability (RAID 6 plus hot spares)...
I used to be SCSI only but these new cards and drives offer a lot
more for the money and you can make up for reliability by sheer mass
and raid 6 and hot spares :-)

Has anyone every verified whether or not SATA has the problems
that plagued
ATA? Such as crappy quality and lying caches?
Personally, I still demand SCSI on production servers because it
still
seems as if:
a) The performance is still better
b) The reliability is still better
But I haven't taken a comprehensive look at the SATA offerings.
It also
seems as if SATA is more limiting. Most SCSI cards can support 16
devices, does SATA have similar offerings? I know it's not
common, but
if you need that many spindles, you need them!
