On the other hand, data reliability is another issue. We have tons of sata based disk arrays and have had no issues yet (because our systems are all on UPS and multiple circuits) but if you don't have infrastructure like that, you are more likely to lose data on a sata based system...
Why do you say that SATA arrays are less reliable? I have used both SATA and SCSI raid and have had drive failures on both. Recovery from the failures seems to be more a matter of the raid implementation than the interface type.
