If there were any doubts that Serial ATA (SATA) drives have secured a place in SANs, they were eliminated this week.

As a result of those companies legitimizing the technology as more than just a way to sell cheap disk, years of resistance to ATA technology has fallen away.
"I think we've hit the tipping point," Herz says.
