Allen the Pedant simply has to chime in on this.

I'm actually contemplating a SATA pool for a large chunk of "primary"
storage right now.  However, this primary data is online/nearline
storage for a Content Manager installation.  It is used as a
document-management system to make some of our offices less paperful;
the access patterns for this make a very good fit.

Another primary stgpool we're considering sticking on SATA is the
Space Managed data.  It's a great way to consolidate large,
seldom-used filespaces, and again the access patterns fit very
nicely.

Now, I don't think I'm actually disagreeing with Mark in these cases,
but my antennae quiver whenever we approach a philosophical asymptote.
