Bah IDE just doesn't function as well when you have concurrent users doing things on the drive. IDE ATA100 is nice for when its just me or a few people banging out stuff on the drives. But if you have a good load of processes having to read and write to the drive you need to have SCSI. I have ATA133 at home it rocks but we also have 15k SCSI drives at work and I couldn't even think to put our stuff on IDE drives. IDE is not their yet for enterprise level business, it will work but its like towing a boat with a Economy class ford escort. :)
But then again what do I know.
