I'm considering getting those cheap firewire cases for about $40 and sticking in one my secondary hard drives in there for external storage. You could get a 200 gig hard drive and do that too. A lot of the drives that are coming soon are going to support current ATA and serial ata. But they will perform better with serial ata.
I think the first phase of Serial ATA will be a decent first step by getting rid of bullshit master/slave crap and giving more headroom. I don't think it will even challenge scsi for at least 2 years. But I think it will make SCSI even less attractive.
BTW, Maynard you know what sucks about getting a first-generation p4. Not being able to take a 1.6 ghz Northwood and overclocking to 2.4 ghz lol. Which is what I'll be doing in the coming weeks.
