This is an old discussion (war). Modern IDE is running after
SCSI since years and years.
Because IDE was, is and will a lot cheaper than SCSI it is
however the preferred solution on most systems.
Top notch performance on real multitasking application platforms
is reached by using several disks, the technology used there
is rock solid OS (not Windows 95 or 98) and SCSI.
Have you ever seen an IDE disk with a 10000 RPM and a 1 MB local
cache ?
