I would agree with Curt, as I have a laptop (15" MBP
2.0Ghz C2D, 2G RAM) that has a SATA drive in it, and I
don't see a significant difference in access speeds
over my former 15" G4 1.8Ghz that used ATA.
I do some video field work with this machine, and I
saw more of a kick in performance when I dropped a
7200 RPM drive in to replace the stock 5400 RPM drive
(both SATA drives).
My only thought is that SATA is more prevalent in the
market now, so if you're looking for a larger and
cheaper drive it will probably be a SATA drive.
I just set up a 400G RAID 1 array in a G4 Quicksilver
as an NAS machine for backups, and at the time I
bought all ATA hardware, including the RAID
controller. I wish I had gone SATA, more for the cost
than anything....
