This depends and correct me if I am wrong, when you use scsi, you can get this benefit 
of using two different hard drives and getting a performance benefit. The last I 
remembered, if your using ide, this is not the case unless you have  them on two 
different ide cards.. Even though an ide card can handle two hard drives, it can only 
read from them one at a time hence the performance wouldn't be there...

just a side note.
