Ok, i need to find information about the benifits of scsi vs ide hd's. I got a department trying to spend too much on workstations due to their belief that scsi hd's are better than ide hd's.

Personal I know that there is very little difference unless you count that you can chain drives together. But I need 3rd party information to save $$$ so I can spend more on additional machines.

Arguement is:

1) that scsi HD are more stable.

2) that scsi HD have a longer MTBF

3) that scsi HD are more compatible with scsi tape drives

The systems are used to push data to tapes and carts.

Damn scsi drives are expensive and smaller. Just can't see how ide hd will negatively impact their operations.
