Default Re: Why SATA on 4400/4200/4500?

I'm not sure how may people (home users) have these more Expensive GOS units. Since most learned that you need to have a complete working unit including sleds to get one up and running. There was a span when over 50% sold on eBay did not have sleds/or even a working HD to boot the unit. When corporations surplussed these units they pulled sleds and drives and threw them into the crusher. They were more concern make sure any and all data stored on the HD were destroyed. Not on resale value, since by now most had written off the equipment.
