Scsi or IDE?
The biggest I've seen for scsi is 50gig
and its 850 buck.

For IDE it maxtor's 61.4gig
sell for 295
I think scsi will soon go extinct.
the cost of it is ridiculous
the controller are not cheap either.
I say in the long run SCSI will be used less and less and it already happening.
it isnt more reliable then IDE,
true it faster and produces more heat so it more likely to fail.

Depends on what your going to use your computer for. IDE is fine for most of us but I know people who swear by scsi because of the performance boost in things like scanners, cd burners....plus you can connect a much larger amount of devices up with scsi compared to IDE.
