I'd rather run 5 SATA cables then one SCSI cable (say 68pin) with
multiple heads... The darn SCSI cables are so thick,
comparatively, that running them in your case is a lot harder :-)
Well everyone's mileage may vary. Parallel cables only work nicely
when you have a stack of drive

I've found that scsi isn't exceptionally faster given similar RPMs, or
even slightly higher RPM (ex. a 10K RPM SCSI vs. 10K RPM SATA drive
would have simlar performance). However, SCSI tends to high tighter
standards, and you get the following advantages, which in some cases
are worth the money, a
