SCSI drives tend to be "enterprise" class devices.

To add some more information to an excellent summary, in the realm of Non-Recoverable Error Rates (NRER, a measure of how often the drive gets it wrong while reading data), enterprise class SCSI drives are at least an order of magnitude better than most anything else out there. Back to my previous examples, the Seagate ST3146854LC SCSI drive has a NRER of 1 in 10^15, while the Western Digital WD1600YS (Enterprise level server drive ) has a NRER of 1 in 10^14. The WD Raptor line claims 1 in 10^15.
