The basic hardware is exactly the same whether it's SCSI or IDE.  SCSI is
just a different controller board on the identical drive case.  Some of the
price difference is attributable to economies of scale, but the IDE board is
a little simpler.  Most of the price difference is a "gotcha" price for
fools who think that there's something magically better about SCSI products.
