I don't have any personal experience on this, but have been told that SATA will work fine for dedupe. Data Domain and the new NetBackup appliances, and I'm sure all of the other dedupe hardware vendors, use SATA drives.

We use 500GB SATA disks here as the basis for our DSSU / D2D2T infrastructure and I need to know if we can "convert" them to DeDupe storage as is, or if we need to invest in something that is more friendly to random I/O.
