Subj : SCSI Hard drive?

I plan to install another Hard Drive in my Compaq Presario P4 desktop
to  have Linux Mandrake 10.0 on it (the original disk, an IDE one, has
Win$_XP).
I was thinking in buying a SCSI one (with its adaptor, of course)
because of the best performance compared to IDE ones but I wonder if I
should, given that:
I have no experience/knowledge at all with SCSI.
I have currently no time to spend fighting against problems.

So, I need a drive that may be installed easily, like an IDE does.

Should I try SCSI or stick to IDE? or, in other words,
Am I likely to find problems with an SCSI drive and adapter?
Does anyone know of a SCSI drive that can be installed like that
(snap)?

Please, any clue.
Thanks,
garco
