my SCSI hard drives haven't been any more or less reliable than my IDE ones 
until a few years ago. that is when the consumer drives started failing more 
often. they don't make them like they used to for the cheap drives.

Hey, Pete.  Most of the old Apple units had SCSI drives, which are
arguably among the most reliable of disk drives.  Ironically, the only
disk drive I've owned that's ever failed me was a 4 gig Seagate SCSI
paired with an identical drive in a RAID 0 configuration.  The
read/write heads wouldn't budge and the SCSI system wouldn't post past
that drive.  After considerable mechanical agitation, a low level
format was required to recover funtionality.  Ouch!
