Point taken.

I was thinking more of desktop applications, not server-oriented uses -
even though you were clearly talking about a server installation.

Yes, 80 Gig IDE is much less than 80 Gig SCSI. I have seen 18 Gig
Unipacks sell for $35-40/each incl. cable, string 5 or 6 together and
you have 80 Gig SCSI for under $250 - spread across multiple spindles,
just the way the storage gods like it ;^) (of course, S/H additional)
