A thought

As SSD's are sounding a bit dodgy, would SCSI's be a substitute, or not worth it, just stick with velocoraptors?

Not worth it.

SCSI drives are still mechanical HDDs so they still have the same inherent limitations as SATA drives. For normal use they can also turn out slower than SATA since the drive firmware and caching algorithms are tuned for the high queue depth, high random access load of server use rather than the low queue depth, sequential access load of a desktop system.

Ok, thanks for the 'steer clear' advice
