The moral of the story is that it doesn't live up to it. Almost any given SATA drive on the market right now offers very little or no advantage based over a similar PATA drive.

My conclusion is based on my research into the advantages and pitfalls of SATA and on my own personal experience with my new SATA II (300 MB/sec theoretical maximum transfer rate) hard drive.
