Both the DT and MT PowerMac G3s use IDE harddrives. Unlike the 8600 and 7600 that have two SCSI buses capable of theoretical throughput of 10MB/sec internal and 5MB external max, the G3s has a single SCSI bus (5MB/sec I think) shared by both internal and external device. IDE drives are usually considered inferior to SCSI because it puts more load on the CPU but the IDE drives in G3s are extremely fast and the processor overhead on the powerful G3 is not noticeable.
