Probably bad luck. I find that SCSI is very reliable, but I don't find
it any more reliable than SATA. That is assuming correct ventilation etc...
Perhaps a basic question - but why does the interface matter? :-)
I find the subject interesting to read about - but I am having trouble
understanding why SATAII is technically superior or inferior to SCSI as
an interface, in any place that counts.
You should probably read this to learn the difference between desktop
and enterprise-level drives:

Problem is :), you can purchase SATA Enterprise Drives.
