Yes, I know that the data rates promised by SATA are not being reached in the real world.
But I am very skeptical about benchmarks as they really depends on which configuration you are using.
It's a fact, though, that SCSI will die in the near future and SATA will take its place with SATA-II already being implemented. Modern rack servers (for webservers too) has now only ATA and SATA drives. Do you know about ATA-to-Fibre Channel interfaces? I work on video editing too and tried a lot of systems... Those interfaces (like the ones Apple developed in their Xserve RAID) are one of the fastest on the market.
