Is HD speed that important

[Cyberus]

I was just wondering...I have always been a little obsessed with SCSI, and always think about how cool it would be to have an ultra wide SCSI interface and drive for high transfer speeds...but is hard disk speed really THAT important?

Obviously for servers, for direct to hard disk recording, etc it is...but is my, and no doubt others', obsession with speed a but needless? I mean, if I have an 060 in my A1200 and still use the mobo IDE controller, will I even notice the fact that it ain't as fast as it could be?

thanks for your replies guys

when I asked, "is it THAT important" I didn't mean is it totally unimportant, it's just that I was thinking some users may notice the differences more than others. I mean, for many users fast HD access may be just a luxury, rather than a necessity, if you gather what I mean
