[PLUG] SATA Drives?

After having had my prejudices against IDE drives confirmed by Larry and
the papers Galen posted, I'm wondering where SATA drives fall.  I'm
seeing them offered in a lot of higher-end systems and with RAID
controllers and they're only slightly less expensive than SCSI.  I don't
know much about them, other than they're somehow ATA interfaces adapted
to a serial bus, like SSA or FCAL.  Are they being designed and
manufactured as Enterprise Storage devices, or Personal Storage?  Are
they so expensive just because they're still new?
