You just answered yourself. I still have several small and old servers with those tiny HD too to hose web servers and it is still running, even though slow.

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?
