I have both IDE and SCSI drives in my machine, but have only seen corruption on the SCSI drives. That doesn't mean that the problem only exists on the SCSI drives - they IDE ones are not frequently written to. I have disabled DMA myself on all my IDE drives because if I enable it, the IDE driver always chokes the first time they are anything like hammered (well, it always used to - I haven't actually tried it recently).
