SCSI is for the server market, while SATA drives mostly are consumer
grade.
What about the non-server non-consumer market, for example professionnal
workstations ?
Professional workstations typically have SAS, SCSI or servergrade SATA
disks.
SATA drives are specified for 8/24 use, while SCSI are for 24/7.
What does "8/24" mean ?
8 hours of usage per day, of which 20% under full load. SCSI is typically
rated for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week usage, of which 80% under full
load.
Do however bear in mind that if you keep your systems running 24/7, you'd be
better off with motherboards and memory modules that support ECC, because
commodity PCs don't have that and if you keep those up for too long, their
memory may get corrupted due to cosmic radiation and other EM fields,
resulting in instability.
