IDE/ATAPI drive? Unless money is really tight, don't go for anything but SCSI. SCSI is a much more flexible solution, and generally faster, less CPU-intensive, and more compatible. (Your mileage may vary; personally I have no experience with how well UltraDMA works on Linux. It may be dandy for all I know.) Traditionally SCSI drives have been more advanced than their IDE/ATAPI counterparts because they have been made to sit in servers. Compare the MTBFs on a typical IDE drive with that of a SCSI drive and you'll easily spot which one was "built to last". -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell. "It's Latin," said Morgan. "It means, 'So there you bastard'." --Robert Rankin, _Nostramadus Ate My Hamster_
