This is dated impressions, but ~2 years ago SCSI definitely had better support than IDE. My impression was that SCSI had more standardization and was easier for people to write code for. IMHO, *BSD is doing the right thing by making things look like SCSI (like my USB keyfob-drive, DVD drive over Firewire, etc) and it gets better support by presenting them as SCSI. Take that support away by going native IDE and then you're at the mercy of a specialized device driver that gets a lot less eyeballing.Received on Wed Aug 27 2003 - 15:23:00 UTC
