Woah, that's a lot of reponses to the poll! I've heard either, I say N.E.C. Maybe because I don't think I work at ebem (IBM.)

Edit: I'll say "SATA" and Serial A-T-A almost interchangably. I guess because I say Scuzzy, not S-C-S-I.

And the proper way for pronouncing SQL is S-Q-L, not SeQueL as I hear a lot of people say it.

wikipedia

Either is acceptable. It was originally intended as SEQUEL, but changed due to a trademark dispute.
