Yet Google use IDE. That tells me that a lot of the people choosing SCSI are
doing so purely because "that's the way it's always been done". Admittedly
if you want 15k drives you have to choose SCSI. But in terms of reliability
if there was really much evidence that SCSI was better we'd be able to point
to studies that show that. Instead all we've got is a lot of anecdotes.

Cheers,
Steve
