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.
