However, although I have seen specific brands of SCSI drives discussed, I don't recall seeing recommendations on IDE hard drives; hence the purpose of this posting is to solicit your opinions on reliable, fast ide hard drives. With Christmas on the horizon, I just may be able to score some new hardware. Of course, if your view is that IDE is just not worth it, please post as well.
