SCSI is faster and less CPU hungry than IDE/ATA, but still much more expensive.
The class action suit against IBM is regarding the 75 GB version of Deskstar 75GXP (DTLA-307075). It seems that the customers have used this drive without extra cooling, which will wear down the drive very fast. I guess IBM is at least partly to blame, since they didn't inform the customers properly about how to handle the thermal conditions.
The Deskstar 75GXP was redesigned, named 60 GXP and the maximum capacity reduced to 60 GB. (Smaller size means less heat.)
The 60GXP have very recently been redesigned, named 120GXP and the maximum capacity raised to 120 GB.
