Except nothing can push the bandwidth limit or even come close to it. Who cares right now.

Oh yeah?

How about 20 channels of MPEG-2 video at 15 Mbps? (20 x 15 = 300 Mbps.) My company sells multi-channel MPEG-2 decoder circuit boards and video servers. I have customers who are doing 20 channels of 8 to 10 Mbps who are using a striped SATA RAID who would love to be able to use just 1 hard drive instead of 2, and get higher throughput as well. Plus they can still have the second SATA drive mirrored instead of striped.

Or how about 8 channels of High-Def MPEG-2 video at 35 Mbps? Or 16 at 18 Mbps? I have customers who would love to be able to do that with SATA instead of SCSI, they'd save loads of money.
