[BBLISA] RAID storage - SATA, SCSI, or Fibre Channel?

[Dean Anderson]

I'm impressed by SATA. Drive backend is Just like SCA scsi (back of
drive standard, so can be plugged into 3rd party array backplane like 
SCA SCSI and fibre channel).  Its fast.  Bad news is that like ATA, one 
has drive limitations.  Serial SCSI would seem to be ideal.
