Generally, you will need a special PCI card (usually 64-bit for the performance, but 32-bit cards are available) to use SCSI-drives.

What do you mean a special PCI card? A MOBO that has PCI slots? I don't understand.

The interface has different advantages than IDE / SATA as well... for example, at the moment, you can fit 15 SCSI drives on a single cable

Again, I don't get what you're saying. How is it possible to fit 15 HDDs, each with its own cable slot, into one MOBO slot? If this is what you're saying (probably not).
SCSI drives are more expensive what do they offer anything special? I would be willing to spend more money on a faster, more reliable HDD, but again SCSI is just an interface. The HDD itself may not be that reliable or even fast. I also read that SCSI drives make much more noise and produce a lot of heat
What is the block size?
