Where are the High-Capacity SCSI Drives?

Posted by Cliff on from the has-ATA-surpassed-SCSI dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "Storage technology has really exploded in recent years, giving us ATA drives up to and exceeding 200-250 GB per drive. Why is it that SCSI drive technology has remained stagnant? I can't find a SCSI drive exceeding about a 146 GB capacity. Instead, businesses (and some individuals) wanting greater storage capacities are required to buy more drives which takes up more space, generates more heat, provides more points of failure, uses more electricity, etc. Why is this so?"
