A substantial number of high-end laptops now are of the "ultra-slim" variety.
A S-ATA disk does not fit well with an ultra-slim system. Moreover, there is a small performance hit
by not using some of the more modern interfaces.
Do you think this will be the death knell for S-ATA disks?
(And yes, of course there will still be custom PC builds and OEMs destops that will be using
S-ATA in 3-4 years time, but I am talking about the MAINSTREAM COMPUTING MARKET here)
