How do you pronounce SATA?

[VoteQuimby]

I was talking with this guy at Dell and he kept saying SATA not S-A-T-A. How do people usually pronounce it?

 

[tfinch2]

serial-a-t-a

I heard some moron at Fry's yesterday saying "saay-tuh". I wanted to punch him in the nuts.

EDIT: I don't have a problem with sah-tuh or say-tuh. You should have heard this guy though. He was emphasizing the a...saaaaaaaaaay-tuh, like saying it hurt or something.

I say it like an acronym - S.A.T.A.

If I am going to say "SATA" out loud, it's "Serial A-T-A".

I think a lot of people say sah tuh. I do. Why would this anger you so much? It seems like quite a few things have acroynyms that people just pronounce as words.

i've heard ppl (sales reps for dell and left hand networks) say sata... i say serial a t a.

"satah" sounds stupid... Reminds me of the ponytail-jeanshorts-pnp-anime guys.

s-a-t-a

I bet the guy at dell sounded like a real retard saying it like that. If you were talking with him on the phone, he is obviously in another country, and is just pronouncing it like he sees it.

sat-a

saying sah ta is no worse then saying scuzzy. That said, I say serial ATA because I find saying S A T A kind of awkward I guess? I guess I just don't like acronyms with more than 3 letters.

 

[archcommus]

I say SAT-uh.

I don't have a problem with sah-tuh. You should have heard this guy though. He was emphasizing the a...saaaaaaaaaay-tuh.

But SCSI is meant to be pronounced "scuzzy"

Google SCSI pronunciation and look at the results.

I say say-tuh. I can't believe you get worked up over pronunciation of an acronym. Serial A-T-A just gets tedious when you use it frequently (like retail store reps most likely do). Why don't you just spell out S.C.U.B.A every time you say it?
