Perhaps a basic question - but why does the interface matter? :-)
I find the subject interesting to read about - but I am having trouble
understanding why SATAII is technically superior or inferior to SCSI as
an interface, in any place that counts.
Is the opinion being expressed that manufacturers who have decided to
move to SATAII are not designing for the enterprise market yes? I find
myself doubting this...
Cheers,
