Otherwise either IDE or SATA works fine with little difference in performance between the two. Also, IDE/SATA drives will need to be replaced at a higher rate than SCSI drives.

And I run a home built dual Opteron - Tyan Thunder motherboard. Stay away from MSI and ASUS if reliability is a major concern. So far the only real problem has been one Opteron having a flakey memory controller. Only fails on specific things - emerging nvidia-glx/kernel. Replacing both cpus next week.
