b. are ppl actually using/promoting SATA drives in a server environment?
Or are we just talking about situations where you have a large number
of spindles to work with? My one experience with an SATA configuration

Yes. All the servers I'm installing this year will have SATA drives
(and 3ware RAID controllers). The Western Digital Raptor drives are
every bit as good as the SCSI drives I used to get.
Although it can be difficult to explain to the finance people why a
74GB drive is better than a 500GB drive at the same price.
