Standard applications like Business Winstone2002 and our home-made file copy across drives showed that there is a real world benefit of Serial ATA

There is performance increase to be had for real demanding applications. To be honest this also requires a very potent system overall and is likely only applicable in few cases. But there are certainly situations where SATA can be considered...
If you're a regular gamer: just stick to plain ATA (parallel ATA)
