Newbie Question about Hard Drives: concerns ata100 and SCSI

I heard all this talk about the ata100 and all the new 7200 rpm hard drives out there, and I started to wonder. I am running SCSI right now, and I have no clue about IDE stuff. I was wondering if I added an IDE hard drive (ata100 7200 rpm), would it slow down my SCSI U2W system down in anyway? Also, for the ATA100 hard drives do you need anything else besides the ATA100 controller? Also, how does the new ATA100 compare to SCSI U2Wide? Any help (or direction to url's with info) would be great! Thanks in advance.
 
No, they're on seperate systems.

It's not even worth the ATA/100 if you're on scsi.

Only good ATA/100 is serial ATA/100, whenever that comes out, better cable management system.

IDE will and never be as good as SCSI in IDE no matter how advanced in data transfer rate it gets.
 
stick with scsi...
if you want to boost your speed, save your dough and get a faster scsi hd like a 10k and set it as your boot drive...

Now if you are in need of massive/cheap disc space..like a friend of mine, then just get yourself a good 7200 rpm drive and plug it into your onboard ide doodad...cheap and reasonably fast, it shouldn't slow down your system at all...

hope that helps
