This is totatlly contrary to my experience.  Heck, I've got a fair
number of SCSI disks that predate 1991, happily spinning away.
SCSI just works, on everything I've ever used it.    I've had a
occaisonal problems with things like termination.  High quality
cables and enclosures solve this.  I wouldn't let an IDE disk get within
thinking distance of machine whose reliability I cared about.
