IMO main reason to go with SCSI is reliability of every SCSI product.
For example, I've seen lots and lots of dead IDE hard drives, but _never_
seen a real SCSI HDD die (I have an old 200Mb one that still works well).
Note that I'm talking here about real SCSI drives, but not just a regular
IDE HDD with SCSI interface; also, I have no experience with the newer
stuff (SCSI drives over ~40Gb)
