That'd be stupid.icemakr said:But with all this aside, If I had the money to go out and get a nice SATA drive I'd spend it on a SCSI instead.
Not only are SATA drives WAY cheaper, but they're replacing SCSI as the industry standard for both personal and server machine HDDs.
On the practical side, SATA is easier to use, easier to install, and for the price of a 20GB SCSI drive you could buy a 160GB SATA drive. Plus, if you've bought a recent motherboard, you've probably got SATA native support, which means you don't have to buy any controller cards or put up with bottlenecks. And you're dealing with new technology that's being worked with and advanced, verses an older technology that isn't defacto anymore.
