It really depends on what you want to accomplish. SCSI ("scuzzy") is fast, very fast. It is also very expensive relative to the amount of gigabytes vs newer IDE drives. In most cases you'll need a separate controller (if your motherboard doesn't already have one). I guess if you're building a server accessed by many then a SCSI may be benificial (or if you have money to burn for a personal setup). I'd suggest you compare specs of the Western Digital SATA 'Raptor' drives and see if they might meet your needs. The Raptors spin at 10,000 RPM and use a Serial ATA interface. They also cost a little less then comparable SCSI drives. Many newer motherboards already come with SATA controllers. Good luck.
