Right now, the biggest (and one of the only) advantages that SATA has is the smaller data cable. Speed and reliaability are almost exactly the same. The speed of drives isn't even maxing out ATA/100, so having SATA/150 is pretty useless as far as speed goes. Its like having tires that can go 400mph but on a car that can't even top out at 100mph, but they LOOK nice.
