     The things I have have learned are this:

     You can get a RAID controller hardware with all the types of hard 
drives made. So the people who make RAID controllers do not have an 
opinion on which hard drive type is best. You buy your hard drives, and 
then the controller which lets you plug in the hard drives.

     My take on SATA is that the plugs are cheap. They are extensions of 
the printed wiring board so you do not want to plug and unplug very often.

     The next is the IDE which is the old standard with a parallel port 
with 50 pins. It is said the SATA is a bit faster than the IDE.

      By pure logic it tells me that a lot of RAID systems are made with 
SATA drives because they are easy to get, are cheap ( if anything is 
cheap these days), and work fine.
