True :)

I was not thinking of scsi myself, more of something like WD's Raptor 10Krpm
sata disks, their just a tad higher priced then normal sata.

I would be the first in line to promote SCSI but not for these reasons.
  If this is just an HLDS machine with no other heavy disk usage
processes running in the background, then from a performance standpoint
IDE is fine.  You're not going to see any lag in the game due to a map
being loaded on another server on the same box.  If you do, it's more
likely the system is maxed out in other areas such as memory or CPU.
