I wouldn't worry about whether it's parallel or sata raid. If you
need high i/o it needs to be SCSI. Otherwise either IDE or SATA works fine
with little difference in performance between the two.
Also, IDE/SATA drives will need to be replaced at a higher rate than SCSI
drives. Just a fact of life.

I've been using a Penguin computing 1U for almost 2 years now. And I run
a home built dual Opteron - Tyan Thunder motherboard. Stay away from
MSI and ASUS if reliability is a major concern. So far the only real
problem has been one Opteron having a flakey memory controller. Only
fails on specific things - emerging nvidia-glx/kernel. Replacing both
cpus next week.
