At the current state of development, SATA drives are generally not
thought to offer more sustained throughput than PATA drives. If you
believe you need improved drive performance, look at the 10,000 RPM
(and even 15,000 RPM) drives. I think you'll find drives that offer 70
MB/sec sustained, versus around 50 MB/sec for good 7200 RPM drives.
But my gut feel is that for rendering and encoding, the CPU
performance will be so much more significant it really won't be
noticeable, even in a 24-hour session.
If someone has run a test with good-but-different drives on the same
system, the numbers would be enlightening.
