Unrelated question (although this thread got me thinking about it):

Why on earth are SCSI drives (and controllers) still so god-awful expensive today, especially compared to their IDE counterparts?

Reason I bring it up is for years I ran a small (4GB) SCSI drive on my Linux box to hold the operating system, swap file and other "system critical" stuff because it's faster & more stable. Never, ever had a problem. Not even once. Possible that SCSI drives are inherently better?
