Yes, 
With SCSI more then 1 application can access your hard drive at a time.

With IDE, only 1 aplpication can access your hard drive at a time.

So If you go with SCSI, then if you have 10 people request a map from your mapserver, then each persons request wont have to waite for the previous request to finish( on the hard drive).
If you plan on getting a ton of hits( people using your site), got with SCSI.

  Hi,

  I am setting up my map server on a shoestring budget and was 
  wondering whether a SCSI hardisk makes a big difference compared to a IDE- 7200rpm hd for
  serving maps.

  thanks
