SCSI is VERY good if your system is doing a lot of very intense disk access.. Even the biggest, baddest mofo of an IDE system will be brought to it's knees by certain tasks (usually involving high bandwidth file transfer, copying etc..)

I unfortunately see it happen all the time.. Your cpu is hardly being used, but the computer is almost non-responsive due to way too much disk load.. IDE isn't good at that. It's better at one thing at a time..

That said - I am talking about desktop.. For most servers, IDE is all you need.. And IDE raid is even better.

Cheers,
