At one time, this was a truism. Now, SCSI is sorta stuck in the middle.
IDE is the low-price leader. Firewire has a definite performance edge and
scales better than SCSI. SCSI will move forward, but I don't see it
expanding its market share.

This method even has a buzzword. I believe it's SAN or it could be NAS.
I can't keep them straight.
