Yeah.
That's sorta analogous to people preferring IDE because it's
"simpler" because it "doesn't need all those silly terminators and
stuff". It actually DID need terminators...but they were never
implemented due to a stellar combination of cheapness and cluelessness.
*urk* Don't remind me of IDE (or PATA as it is called
nowadays). There were good
reasons why the first machine I bought with my own money was a pure SCSI
machine, including optical drives. And I stuck with SCSI until a few years
ago when I started using SATA disks for bulk storage and workstation disks.
Same here mostly.
The root disk of the server and $HOME are still
sitting on SCSI (and RAID1
at that), though.
All FibreChannel here on the serious machines. SATA on the desktops.
