I like my SATA drives very much. I have 2 120 GB wich I striped.

My drives did run VERY hot. As I have no fans except the PSU in the case that could have been the reason. Check yours when running, just in case. And think before you place them in the case.

I'd like to see external HD enclosures for SATA drives, with a Firewire 800 backend.

I have one of those too, Wrathiron. I haven't gotten around to re-installing WinXP on it. Right now, it's just got my temporary directories and my virtual memory swap file.

I am now contemplating shuffling my other drives around. I believe that I may go RAID1 this time.
