I expect motherboards and drives with SATA interfaces will be around for 
many more years -- the interface is ubiquitous and fast/ cheap enough.


I would consider the PCIe stuff for newer machines and/or machines 
running services or applications that need the performance.

Bad SATA cables and/or connectors are a common problem.  I now mark 
every SATA cable with a serial number and track them, to help with 
trouble-shooting.


Using drive trays/ bays adds another level of hardware that can cause 
problems.  The only advice I can offer is to take meticulous notes and 
have spare parts for A-B testing.

For sound on Linux, I use Intel desktop boards, Debian stable, and cross 
my fingers.  It usually just works.  Whenever I try to add audio stuff, 
sound usually breaks to some lesser or greater extent.
