i disagree. while you might be telling the truth about platters ( dont keep up to date with that kinda stuff).. bottom line is that ide drives still rely on the bus. which will always slow you down.
you might be able to find an instance or two where lots of sequential low cpu cycle, low memory use reads or writes are somehow faster, but the average joe doesnt do that....
in the end, i can only speak from experience. build me a server, give me a scsi, i'll support thousands and thousands of simultaneous users..
build me the same server with an ide and it'll begin choking after 400-500 users.
why? cause hdd reads/writes are in line to be processed by the bus on ide systems, whereas with scsi systems the hdd read/write goes straight to the drive without waiting for the next cpu cycle to finish.
It's kinda a no brainer for those who dont understand what i'm talinga bout.
IDE = one door to the train, everybody wants to get on.. but they all go through the same door.
SCSI = one door for some people, another door for other people..
In the end all you care about is how fast you can get the train boarded imho. Price wise you cant beat ide though.. not saying ide is bad.. just saying it's slower than scsi.
