I have yet to have a SATA drive last more than 10 months handling a busy 
mail queue. I have SCSI drives that are four years old and still going 
strong.

SATA, IMHO, is a nice fast drive for gamers. You can go to Frys and get 
a speedy drive for little money. I do not trust them for mission 
critical data. As they gain market share that may change. For now I've 
changed far too many, I have a pop toaster down currently awaiting it's 
second SATA drive in 16 months. (Professional NOC, Temp, vibration, 
power all conditioned, this was a Seagate drive).

Just my experience, not looking for agreement or argument.

for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
