I just say S-A-T-A like P-A-T-A. Of course SCSI is pronounced "Scuzzy" lol!
If its going to be pronounced, should it not be Sattah? As in Matta?

Eh, I just pronounce it ESS AYE TEA AYE. I just figure that you pronounce IDE as I-D-E and ATA as A-T-A so why should SATA be any different?!

It depends. I usually say either Serial A T A, or Sa-Ta (Sa as in saddle and Ta as in tattle). If you worry about sounding strange, then simply ask for a Serial ATA drive and you'll have no problems.
