I must have heard “saata” somewhere because that’s my head-pronunciation, and it doesn’t match how I say data (dayta). Not sure I’ve ever said it out loud.
Could be an “avoiding saying anything like ‘Satan’” kind of thing, not because of religion, but more to avoid lame jokes.
Ha. No, I don’t think it was Linus, but it might have been someone else European. Really hard to be sure at this point. SATA has been around for a while.
And I’ve unearthed a memory of the other, other pronunciation that I know I’ve heard: “serial ay-tee-ay”. Why make it an acronym when you can say one of the words and then the initials of the others!
I do, but regarding pronunciations it’s S-A-T-A not Saytuh and I’ll die on that hill.
yes, you will. although i tend to use the german pronunciation, “Sahtah”.
Ah yes I also call it “Sahtah”. Australian
That’d be “Zahtah”

well “saata” is closer to the pronounciation of satan in finnish, “saatana”. Was it Linus you’ve heard?

Ooh, can we start the SCSI thing again?
Scuzzy! :D
I pronounce it in swedish so that its just Satan without the -n.
Those are both wrong. It’s Sat-uh.
