This is actually one application where I feel SCSI is justified. If you're considering better discs, it's because you want to have multiple read/writes happening simultaneously. This is the one function that IDE still doesn't have that SCSI has, the ability to execute several commands at once. I think a single older SCSI drive may outperform a newer IDE drive in this application, and possibly an IDE RAID. (not sure if the multiple command thing is on a per-bus basis or a per-drive basis...)
