No, I mean a special PCI card with SCSI connectors on the PCI card. Normally, high performance SCSI wants to use 64-bit PCI slots (PCI64, NOT PCI express)

OK, so no motherboard has SCSI slots on itself (like in IDE, they do have slots for the IDE cables so you don't need a PCI card)? Could I buy a motherboard with SCSI slots on it?

The main advantage SCSI has nowadays over other interfaces is quantity - like I said, you get 15 drives per interface. With SATA, you get 1 drive per interface. With IDE, you get 2 (with lowered performance).

I've only used IDE cables and can understand why you say I can fit 2 HDDs with 1 cable, the calble itself has 2 interfaces to connect with, and 1 that fits to the MOBO. Is it the same case with SCSI cables (16 overall cable slots?)? and why do IDE HDDs work at lower performance?
