Well most drives have never hit the speed limits of the interface they use, so in terms of raw throughput you generally won't see a difference. Many of the native SATA drives have NCQ similar to what scsi has had for a long time, which should help performance on multiuser systems and other systems with many simultanious random accesses. I suppose the limit of an older scsi bus could have been hit if multiple drives were accessed at once, although on many systems the system bus might be a limit before that happens.
