Ok, I looked in FAQ's and didn't see it addressed. So, I have basically been an IDE kinda guy to this point, I know next to nothing about SCSI other than it requires a separate controller, and is faster than IDE (depending on variation). So I wanna know what its unique features are, disadvantages vs. IDE (other than cost), is it better to have SCSI cd-burner and why, and what are the most commonly used types (wide, ultra-wide, soooper doooper shaggy wide)... And thanks in advance!
