So, the question becomes a cost/benefit tradeoff relative to my projected
usage (a home PC that doesn't really get any heavy pounding). If the
dollar difference turns out to be $150, then I'd go IDE. If (as is
apparently the case) the difference is less, then I might go SCSI unless
there's some compelling technical reasons to avoid the IDE drives.
