Show me a 15kRPM SATA drive with the capability to truly know that the data 
has hit the platter (essential for journaling filesystems and ACID compliant 
databases).  Pity. :-)  One will probably be available soone enough, but by 
that time the 4u 4+TB of hot swap SCSI will also be a reality.

Incidentally, ATAPI == SCSI over IDE.  Crippled SCSI over IDE at that.
