EMC Clariion does not support SATA. They are PATA and have all the
issues associated with PATA (slow, unreliable, etc). IBM, STK, etc
have SATA drives in their systems.

PATA drives are no better or worse for that application than SATA.

The Clariion does it by using an internal PATA-to-dual-SATA converter and
two SATA-to-FC converters connecting to each back-end loop. Works out just
fine for us, so far.
