No, SATA with NCQ can handle multiple commands in the channel. Here is write up from Seagate: http://www.seagate.com/products/interface/sata/native.html More or less, the performance difference of SATA and SCSI has to do with spindle speed. Sure SCSI is better, but it's also running at 10k or 15k. Most SATA drives run at 5.4k or 7.2k with a few running at 10k.

I'm pitching it more and more to my customers who don't like paying the Citrix price. I truly believe Citrix is missing the boat by not dropping prices. As for SATA vs SCSI, is it still true that SATA can only handle one command in the channel at a time? Jeff Pitsch Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server Provision Networks VIP Forums not enough?

Provision offers some compelling features to really make you look at how you're doing things and at what expense. I have to say that the Ghostine's did a wonderful job with their seamless windows implementation.
