Speaking purely for my own hardware over the years, I wouldn't hazard a guess how many drives I've had. I used to run the 3rd largest BBS in NJ for one thing, but I've seen easily over 30 hardware faults on disk drives (just mine - I've seen hundreds total) - but oddly, I can count the ones on SCSI drives on one hand. Can't say I understand it, because logically the hardware between SCSI and IDE really should be about the same... but I won't argue with reality this time.
I wonder if the drive manufactures selected the "better built" drives for SCSI and used the rest for IDE? I seem to recall they did that for RLL vs MFM drives.
