This was Slashdotted and ridiculed appropriately.  It's not scientific, 
it's not even relevant because the tests were poorly thought out - can 
anyone say "file fragmentation"?

The difference between SCSI and IDE is nearly purely electronics and 
interface presentation. Some manufacturers ship better quality, i.e. with 
less defects, platters with SCSI than they do with IDE, some don't.

I routinely use both IDE and SCSI in mission critical systems, the choice 
for SCSI usually revolves around the number of disks that are going to be 
hooked up to the system. That said, 3ware's utterly stunning RAID cards 
soon makes this point moot.
