[plug] IDE Drives vs. SCSI

Hi All,

I know SCSI are better than IDE is almost every way, but I'm wondering if
anyone has any experience with IDE drives in a server/multi-access situation
where they die (lock/freeze) when handling multiple simultaneous requests
for disk access?

I have one source saying that "SCSI is recommended because (of above)" ..
but they are talking exclusively about NT platforms.  Is it an OS issue or a
hardware one?

Any info/expereiences welcome.

- Brian.
