Interesting idea, but it does cost $99.  So you'd have to be comparing
to REALLY expensive SCSI drives to save money.  Plus, rumor has it that
SCSI drives are made to higher tolerances and are less likely to crash
compared to IDE -- so you lose that advantage  (Also, most SCSI drives
still have long warranties, unlike the trend to only 1 or 2 year
warranties in the IDE market.)

--Jeremy, no I haven't used one or seen one before, so feel free to
ignore me. :)
