IDE vs. SCSI hard drives

[Erik Talvola]

 I will shortly be purchasing a new hard drive, probably the Conner 200 meg
hard drive, which people have given me good reviews about.  It is available
in either IDE or SCSI, and I was wondering about the advantages of each.
I know the IDE is supposed to be faster under DOS, but then again, the SCSI
can have a tape drive hooked up later possibly, and may have better Unix
performance.  I am not even sure if IDE drives are generally supported under
Unix.  If someone could E-Mail me any suggestions about which drive to
purchase, assuming that I will probably be using DOS for about a year, then
hopefully switch to some form of Unix, I would appreciate it.  Many thanks
in advance...
