The biggest problem is that SCSI drives no longer offer capacities that compete with ATA drives let alone their extremely poor cost/capacity ratios. My prediction is that you will see SATA variations slowly taking over the bastions that were SCSI only over the next few years. I used to have SCSI drives in every machine, not now, go look at the specs for the WD Raptor drives, they don't lie, these things are very good value. PSU quality and how heating and heat dissipation is managed has always been relative to component longevity, in other words you get what you pay for.
