[Cialug] SATA the norm these days?

[Todd Walton]

I just read the statement:

"Most modern desktop systems ship with storage devices (hard disk and
CD/DVD drives) on a Serial ATA bus, rather than the older IDE (ribbon
cable) bus type."

in a kernel config document on gentoo.org.  Is this true?  I know I
just bought a motherboard and it had SATA on it, but I thought it was
being all edgy and stuff.  Is SATA really the norm these days?
