I think it depends partly on the computer. Our new systems have the SATA drives in them, but I have not seen a huge improvement over the Seagate drives that we have been using.

SATA vs IDE Explained
The SATA drives are not any faster than the latest 7200 RPM IDE drives. The advantage is they can be raided just like SCSI drives. This gives you the capability of mirroring (continuous back-up) or increasing drive size by combining multiple drives together which also protects your data better. Hope that helps.
