BAH! show me the IDE disk that can keep up with my cheetah x15 sustained
sequential throughput, random accesses, anything, there will always be a
SCSI drive that will kick the ass of the fastest IDE drive, and make all
of it's little IDE friends running away crying.  

And, there's a LOT to be said about a drive with a 5 year warranty vs. a
drive with a 1 year warranty.  Even if it is a gaming box, do you want
to monkey around with replacing the drive when it goes bad...  and
having to buy a new drive too?

Just my two cents, about two years ago, i would have been one to say
that SCSI isn't worth the money, but hey, if you have the money to spend
on a good SCSI disk, Go for it.  If you gotta go super cheap, well, ya
get what you pay for with hard drives.
