Well SCSI drives and IDE drives are basically just different now. SCSI drives require the use of a SCSI card to be install on your system. They are generally more difficult to install than IDE card. SCSI also uses less of your CPU's clock cycle, but if you've got a decent system that's pretty irrelevant. I believe that SCSI's still have an advantage in speed of data transfer. Although with the the new Ultra ATA 66 and Ultra ATA 100, they are pretty dang close. Another reason to consider a SCSI would be if you don't want to use up another IDE controller. If you still have a PCI slot available then you can use SCSI and save room for another hard drive later or something. It seems to just be a personal preference nowadays.
