#IDE – SCSI
I find it incredibly hard to believe that IDE will surpass SCSI in performance
by the end of the year. There are so many high performance workstations out
there that have faster busses, need for higher throughput than 99.9% PCs, and
use SCSI that I just can't imagine HD manufacturers shooting themselves in the
foot by developing faster technology for a system that is used in one platform
(IDE in PCs). While there are more PCs out there than just about everything
else, SCSI is a standard for PCs, and also the standard for just about every
other platform from workstation on down. Just seems nuts.
