Have you considered the speed advantage of a SCSI HDD? More often
than not, it is the HDD that slows a computer system's response time;
they are never fast enough, IMO.

In this type of application, I doubt that there would be any benefit to a
SCSI HDD. SCSI drives show performance advantages in applications that
require random read/write operations involving larger amounts of data, as
is the case with video editing or scientific modelling. In contrast,
flight sim read operations are usually sequential, for example loading the
next sector in the area display, and as many ATA /Serial ATA HDDs come
with sizeable cache memory, there shouldn't be "glitching" due to HDD data
transfer rates under normal usage.
