Perhaps as the ones you used to get, but not as good as you can get.

Dont get me wrong.. I can get approval to go SCSI since our machines need at 
least 1T+ (the storage machines), but looking at the benchmarks at 
storagereview (http://storagereview.com) shows there is still a significant 
performance difference between SCSI and SATA.
