SATA drives and Norton Ghost

Hi all,
I'm thinking about installing a couple of SATA drives in a new computer to get the RAID advantage. I've heard rumors that SATA drives don't get along with Norton Ghost. Has anybody heard that or had experience with that, and if so, are there any work-arounds? I'd like not to get any nasty surprises if I do decide to install SATA drives. Thanks for any help.

Ghost works fine with my sata drives. On the computer that uses Sata RAID norton doesn't work. So its like this. Sata - Norton Ghost RAID - Acronis True Image.
Good luck.
I'm just a shadow of my former self!
