If you're worried about price, odds are you're better off buying an
ATA controller and a cheap IDE drive.

In the "budget range", there isn't so much a performance advantage --
these days you're paying for the warranty more than anything.

I have a small array of 10K RPM 9GB SCSI's for my homedirs and system
volumes and a huge array of 7200 RPM 120GB ATA's for "nearline" media
storage. Less noisy, too.
