sATA = consumer cruft.
SATA is actually pretty good in terms of reliability. WD and
Seagate, I think, offer "server-class" SATA drives (which just means
they have a lower MTBF and cost more).
Poking around at Wikipedia, I get the impression that SATA requires
one controller per disk (but it's only seven wires, so adding another
controller to the ASIC is fairly trivial), with no daisy-chaining.
My SATA controller card will drive two disks, each with its own
connector / cable set. It's the card that came with the drive.
