I voted indifferent, simply cause SCSI does now and will always own the ATA interface.

And thats all I run in my workstation, and servers.

Also the term "ATA SCSI" Is like saying a "Copper Fiber network connection" ATA and SCSI are 2 TOTALLY different interfaces, the protocol backing both is 200% different.

Serial SCSI may be a possability, but ATA SCSI sounds like the ATA interface with some extentions to make it look like SCSI... gotta love gimicks! Also as far as "serial SCSI" is concerned its been around by another name for many years - Fibre Channel. Thats a extremely fast serial communications that is based on an extended SCSI protocol.
