My concern about IDE is that at least for a development is kind of nice to be able to add drives as the need arises additionally, the ease of configuration -- well sort of, we know about the scsi cables , terminators, etc.. however if one can agree on the configuration for scsi busses at least for your company then it is easy to add/remove drives. For instance, lets assume that my development sources reside on a separate disk at the end of the day I can take the external disk home and keep working (assuming that one has a similar setup at home).
