Hi Jun:

My point is this. If you are talking performance with little regard to
price. SCSI is where it is at. Why even consider ATA IDE? Looking
at Seagate SCSI drives with seek times <6.0ms compared to ATA
IDE at <8.0ms at best. SCSI are spinning at 10,000 RPM with
8MB buffers.

Now, If were talking value then ATA IDE is where it is at!
