The big issue with IDE v. SCSI is that with IDE the system CPU handles the I/O and therefore creates additional load. If your application is not loading the disk I/O system heavily this will probably not make much of a difference, however if it is or should you have to rebuild one of the disks in your array do to a failure, your system will slow to a crawl. I have found that servers are pretty unusable while an IDE RAID is rebuilding.
