&gt; Wait for it, the SATA standard has yet to stabalize, the controller

&gt; supposedly be including scsi ?SSCSI? and will be cross compatable).

&gt; &gt; I'm in the market for an IDE controller card, an looking at either buying
&gt; &gt; a Promise ATA 133 card for around $35, or one of these Promise SATA 150 /
&gt; &gt; ATA 133 combo cards:

&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; I don't have any serial ata drives and don't plan on buying one anytime
&gt; &gt; soon, but I wonder if it might be worth the extra $$ to have this
&gt; &gt; capability down the line.  Is the world really going towards SATA and are
&gt; &gt; the performance benefits really that great?  I'd bet this card in
&gt; &gt; particular will be obsolete by the time I get around to buying a new drive
&gt; &gt; (at least a year out), so I'm trying to justify the purchase either way.
&gt; &gt; 
&gt; &gt; Thanks for your input!
