6 IDE Hard Disc Drives between 15 and 30 GBytes. 6 ide hard disc drives between 15 and 30 gbytes. IDE Vs. SCSI Of course there was the question of whether to start with an IDE or a SCSI hard drive review. That is also possible with IDE, but currently still restricted to the maximum IDE bandwidth of 66 (ATA66-spec) and very soon 100 MBytes/s (ATA100-spec). IDE Vs. SCSI, Continued As already mentioned, it is also possible to run IDE RAID systems at very low cost, as IDE RAID controllers are very cheap compared to SCSI models - but they are usually limited to four drives. This photo shows the 40 pin IDE connector....
