As you know, I do almost all my work on sata. I have a few that I switch between and am looking at picking up a couple more at ~$20 each (120GB). For a mailserver, there is just too much disc activity in /var, /home, and who knows where else? So having rootfs entirely on sata is easy in my opinion. I can easily test on a C2 to boot to a sata via usb adapter, I know that back in the day, Hans was working on it. But now I want to buy a quad board but which? sata functionality is the big decider for me. Away today, and will be back tomorrow for testing. Got lots to do...
