I hit send way to fast (as I really do not have much time to comment)..
I was trying to say here that SCSI drives and SATA drives are designed
differently. One reason is the spindle speed difference requires more
durable components for SCSI drives. A second design difference is that
SCSI drives generally have physically smaller disks and less arial
density. All of these are mainly to reduce seek times.
