I do a lot of video capture. It takes up space.

SCSI is absolutely no guarantee of quality. I've had many, many SCSI
drives die on me - more than I can remember offhand. I've only had about 2
IDE drives die on me.

SCSI and IDE drives aren't really that different. SCSI is overpriced for
very little reason. Some say they go through a tougher QA process, but
then IBM Deskstarts (75GB IDE) do too.
