The advantage to using a controller (get SCSI in case you ever move to another
machine/interface) separate is that you can almost always add another bare hard
drive to it if you wish to give you two drives. You can also sometimes upgrade
to a larger HD cheaper this way.
OTOH, embedded SCSI drives like the Seagate N-series have gotten ridiculously
inexpensive (someone was telling me $370 for a 85 megger??)... and is a first
choice for many people. Hard to decide.
