I always think of the performance of scsi vs sata.
On my pc which is an amd64 3200+ i use sata disk and some ide drives too.
However lately i wanted to think wether it would be good to change the sata to scsi.
SCSI in this case now SAS(Serial Attached SCSI) has always outperformed IDE/SATA. However, today in practical application on a single user multitasking OS - SATA more than meets the needs. SAS is mostly used now in server based applications to provide faster data access in the multiple user environment.
If money is an object then just use SATA, it will work just fine for you. It's a lot faster than the old IDE standards.
Now on a classic Amiga - SCSI is the best option simply because when they were built SCSI was the superior drive technology hands down. IDE will do the trick but I've run Amigas with UW SCSI versus the standard IDE and there was a huge difference. However, good luck finding controllers and compatible drives.
