Anyone familiar enough with the technical 
implementations of these 2 to comment on how 
reliable they are as an interface for HDDs and 
CD/DVD drives?

How do they compare to SCSI and IDE? Do they at 
least offer the advantages that SCSI has over IDE?
And lastly, how well does Linux support these
2 interfaces?

It seems likely that USB 2.0 and/or Firewire based 
HDDS and CD/DVD drives will be the next wave and 
are likely to have the economies of scale that
SCSI devices have lacked.  The question is, are we 
giving up anything when we migrate to either of
these 2 new interfaces?
