If it's performance you're after get one of those fast flash drives. They're way faster than SCSI.
Also considering offloading the CPU? (as SCSI does)
I mean, quite a while ago I had a 36x (or something) IDE cd burner. A friend of me had a 4x SCSI cd burner, which was waaay faster (and more reliable) than my cd burner.

- Parallel SCSI is dead

Well, since Windows loves to swap...
I read somewhere someone used a small and fast SCSI harddisk for the OS, and a big (S)ATA harddisk for the rest.
Sounds logical to me.
