What's the difference between the two, because scsi seems to be much more expensive, and have smaller quantities.. Can I host more clients on a scsi drive even though the digit is smaller?

the basic diff between the two is speed.. SCSI is much faster as compared to a IDE...

there was a discussion on this a few months ago... how about giving the search a try?

No, a Mb is a Mb. And I can't imagine the speed difference affecting a website in any perceptible way. It's more an issue for folks who work in pro audio/video.

From what I have noticed, a SCSI disk is much better when it comes to handeling many request at once. To put it simple.. They work much better than IDE disks under pressure.
