Re: SCSI vs. IDE

This is the kind of statement which seems to come from many SCSI supporters who
prefer to denigrate EIDE rather than promote a balanced view of the strengths
and advantages of both SCSI and EIDE. Perhaps the author will provide some
concrete evidence that Microsoft has chosen to degrade the performance of
millions of PC's which have been shipped with high performance EIDE hardware as
standard.

I repeat my earlier comments, SCSI provides an edge over EIDE which is valuable
in a server environment, however most workstation users will not notice any
difference for the additional cost and complexity.
