Linux does a very good job with busmastering IDE (scatter gather, head scheduling, etc.). IDE definitely has a place in well-designed systems, though naturally if you need many and/or different devices, SCSI is the right choice... the key point to remember is that dual-channel, UDMA controllers are already on most motherboards, and IDE disks are currently at $30-$35/GB, both much cheaper than SCSI...
