Yeah, I know, nobody likes these pronunciation threads, but I am truly curious.

So, how do you pronounce Serial ATA / SATA?

I personally say "Serial ATA" myself, but I hear customers sometimes call it "sat-uh" or "say-tah", which personally I feel sounds stupid. (Seriously, do you call Parallel ATA "pat-uh" or "pay-tah"?) But that's just me.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll get flamed for starting a poll like this since there are some people on here that seem to get offended at purely curious questions, but this isn't really for them.

Serial ATA (Serial Ay-Tee-Ay) or SATA (S-A-T-A) ... but in this case I don't spell A as Ay but A like the 'u' of the word 'bus'. That's how we pronounce the 'A' here so I spell it this way... although it's an English word :p and I agree that I should spell it Say-Tah... but I never heard anyone pronouncing it like this so....

I used to say sat-uh but the average person I speak to has no idea what the hell it is, so I keep it in simple terms by saying Serial ATA.
