serial ATA is best for simple, single-disk servers and desktop and workstation configurations that can benefit from disk-striping setups, such as multimedia editing stations. At this point, despite the lower price, it's really not suited for use in enterprise-class servers.

Spend your money on SCSI and rest easy. SATA does make an appealing alternative to low-end (i.e., desktop) SCSI setups, which have been more or less eclipsed by ATA/IDE as a whole for some time now and should flourish nicely there.

So you have to ask yourself what would be fit for purpose?

If you went with SATA, you would notice the difference in speed and you would have no problems running any application on a desktop machine.
