Am I to understand from what you've said that with age the speed of a drive declines, presumably from wear and tear. Or, from age of technology used in drives? Also that it's irrelevant whether I use SCSI or IDE because it's the newness of either drive that will determine the speed, not necessarily the technology. If yes to all, I find this quite interesting.
