Have you looked at the design life and MTBF specs for big expensive SCSI
drives ?

For example the 4 gig conner 7200 RPM drive with 7 year design life and
1000,000 hour MTBF ?

Personally, given the possibility of similtaneous CPU and IO work being done
and the transfer rate that SCSI will give you, I wouldn't look at any flavour
of IDE for video grabbing applications.

Let us know how you get on...
