Interesting, since no one's made any PATA drives that spin at 10,000 RPM as far as I know. For some reason I thought the interface change allowed for this (but couldn't come up with a good reason why it would make a difference). :)

Actually, that drive is more like a SCSI drive with SATA connectors. FWIW, it's still cheaper than a SCSI drive with the same specs and it got 5 years warranty so I hope it is actually built better than the desktop crap we see dying like the flies here (hint: massive airstream over the disks helps a lot, cooler disks live much longer, so if you can accept the noise, get some badass 12CM fan to cool them ;-).
I feel less betrayed now.
