I'm not sure about that. All mechanical parts (plate, heads, etc.) are same for all three types of interfaces. SCSI was in the lead because it can queue commands and works better in high load work with many requests such as web servers. but for workstations I can't see any difference between three (for current generaion hdd's). Also many interfaces suffer from mechanical part of hdd's. Serial ata takes the lead when reading from on hdd cache. Other than that it's limited by hdd read speed from platters. It may perform better when 20k drives apperar. lol
But I think HDD's fail percentage wouldn't change depending it's interface..
