I am curious, mainly cause i was intrigued by a Linux Admin test I took
for a job last night, and i didn't really know.  One question asked
about transferring data from an IDE drive to a SCSI drive. Can anyone
explain this to me?  I figured Linux just saw it as another hard drive,
not necessarily a "different type" of drive.  So, i'm just wondering if
anyone can help me out with that. I haven't ever come across this, but
doesn't mean i won't someday.  how many computers actually have both
types? don't mostly motherboards and such stick to one type of connect
for drives?

It does just see it as another hard drive, but you still need to make sure that (like anything) the proper drivers are loaded. That's about it. Which admin test were you taking? Anything like RHCE?

It's common for servers to have both types.  Think SCSI drives for local
disk, SATA for the system disk and IDE for the DVD.
