I thought all servers are in 'freezer' rooms? hehe.. (kidding)

Wow.. That'll be blazing quick.

Thanks for the heads up..

Lower power means less drain on the powersupply, and less heat 
generated.  Thus you can pack more drives into a single unit w/out 
stressing the powersupply and the cooling measures.

Parallel ATA, what is thought of as the normal IDE interface.

They won't be listed as ATA150.  They're listed as SATA.  SATA1, which 
is currently available, is the equivalent to ATA150.  SATA2, due out in 
a year(?), is supposed to be equal to ATA300, 2x the speed of SATA1.

Nod.  SATA isn't for everybody, and if you've got a working system, 
there isn't much need to go and disturb it with new hardware.  For new 
system purchases though, it's something to consider, especially when 
using them with 3ware cards (Linux supported) for high density hardware 
raid.
