I use Ultra DMA drives here at work on a P-II 300 MHz file/dialup server
running Linux.  This machine also has Ultra Wide SCSI-3 as well.
Truthfully, I don't see a lot of difference between the way the two
different drives perform.  They are both seagate drives, and the SCSI
drive only has specs for 40MB/Sec.  *shrug*  I always hear good things
about SCSI, too, but truthfully, it seems that this ultra IDE stuff is
giving it a run for its money (maybe it's time for SCSI-4?) :D
