   Depends on the hardware.  For consumer gear, IDE is about as quick and
   reliable as SCSI (comparing various Maxtor and WD IDE drives to IBM
   DORS32160 drives driven by Mylex Buslogic 948's), but if money is no
   object, IDE doesn't even field competitors to some of the obscene
   SCSI hardware out there (a DPT raid controller driving a battery of
   Seagate Cheetahs, anyone?  I don't even think anyone makes a 7200
   rpm IDE drive yet, let alone a 10,000 rpm one.)

   david parsons \bi/ My transit newsfeed uses a DMA'ed IDE drive for
                  \/  databases, and it only goes down these days for
		                                   hardware exchanges.
