Does Anyone Still Use Scsi Drives Options

[cornutt]

Title says it all: Is anyone using SCSI drives with a recent model Mac? I have a SCSI board in my G4 that I put in originally so that I could transfer files out of my old Power Computing clone when I upgraded. Currently I'm not using it (the old SCSI drive was only 300 MB; it's not worth keeping connected). I guess most people use FireWire for external drives these days, but I'm a bit leery of that since I use a FireWire audio interface (MOTU 828). I'm needing an external drive to take up the overflow from my internal drive to and serve as an archive, something on the order of 200 GB. Would it be worth my while to look for a SCSI drive, or should I forget it and stick to FireWire drives?

Like LePetit said, they are use in high end video editing markets, but they still are being used for servers. Lots of servers tend to use them for different RAID configurations which include: Self Healing, Faster writing for backups, faster reading for backups, and other things. I think that's what they are used for? I read a neat article on it once and it was very informative. But right now it seems the industry standard is a Firewire hard drive.
