[K12OSN] Is IDE enough?

[Hedblom Daniel]

Hi!

I think you should go for SCSI for root since you will be reading and
writing in multiple places at the same time, like /var and /tmp. IDE is
great to store backups or things read and written seldom or by just one
request at a time. It just doesnt cut it yet and SCSI really is worth
the extra money.
