Whenever shall it happen? SCSI is moving away from 10,000 and on to 15,000. We normal non-rich people might be able to afford SCSI if it wasn't for the card (I think Adaptec's latest Ultra160 SCSI card is like $300 without tax - maybe we could if the card was $50 and the drives cost twice as much).
With the arrival of ATA-133, this sounds like a good idea (supposedly 7200 RPM is barely able to achieve maximum rates on ATA-100). Speaking of which, will anyone besides Maxtor be making ATA-133?
And shouldn't we start seeing at least 4MB caches in upcoming drives?
I think alot of people would be pretty suprised on how much faster transfer times are, and how long it takes their computer to load with a 1GHz ThunderBird with a 15,000 SCSI, than a 2100+ Athlon on a 5400 ATA-66 drive.
