EDIT: Don't bother with Firewire. It's failed as a specification, so Apple have started phasing it out. You'd use it for video cameras mainly - it's very good for dealing with HD video.
Serial Attached SCSI is what we get on newer server models now Though that's actually backwards-compatible with SATA

Also, when did that happen to firewire? I still prefer Firewire over USB for HDs, since although the raw throughput may be specced lower for many devices (400 instead of 480mbps), the real performance is faster due to overheads with USB, and transfer speeds are more consistent especially with several devices connected at once daisy-chained Guess I'll hope there's external SATA connections on the next PC/laptop I buy if it's really going though
