Why would you pay double or triple the price for a SCSI device? ATAPI works
great, and you can even do RAID these days.  SCSI is for "price is no
object" projects.

If he's using RAID, then he'd be getting "the three biggest..." etc.  Better
low-cost strategy is to get what you can afford and use a CD-ROM backup
package until you can afford a second one (for RAID mirror or manual
backup).
