When you say a SCSI drive what do you actually mean. SCSI is most commonly used for hard disks and tape drives, but it can connect a wide range of other devices, including scanners, and optical drives (CD, DVD, etc.).

> what factors would you consider when selecting a SCSI drive?
If you live in the northern hemisphere, you need to get one which spins clockwise, whereas if you live in the southern hemisphere, you need one which spins anticlockwise ;)

That's been proven incorrect time and again. You can make your drives spin either direction in either hemisphere.
On the other hand, one must observe proper solar polarity, given the tilt of the Earth.
