Since some current SATA drives are only PATA with an onboard converter (yes, even the first WD Raptors!) there probably isn't much in it. SATA-150, versus PATA-133 or 100 - well seeing as no PATA drives have anything approching a sustained 100Mb/s rate, the only real advantage of SATA is if it avoids putting two drives on one PATA cable. If you're heavy on the optical drives, then the HDD's need to be on SATA to keep the PATA IDE's available foir them.
