RE: [Nolug] high-capacity disk drives & controllers

Hmm....
Just go straight with serial ATA.

Or the latest trend, connect large capacity IDE drives to the SCSI
controller with the adapter. IDE drives will go to 300Gb in a few months and
you can easily hook up 15 of them to the SCSI controller. That should hold
some pr0n DivX files. Perhaps have few of them there just for the parity's
sake.

SCSI drives are all still under 150Gb and relatively expensive. However,
there are some semi valid reasons for their price.
