Not that IDE disks would be more reliable, just that you couldn't see the disk errors until it was too late. :-) However, given the IDE disk prices, you can afford to replace them more often. Also, with SCSI drives, some people see sense errors, and correctable media defects, and mistakenly assume it is a 'disk failure'.
