James,
you asked for information and you got information. You seem not to
like what you heard, so now it is a "flame war". If you read back on the
scsi thread, you'll discover where the advantages are. If you really think
that loading rh is a good test, more power to you. The advantage, or lack
of thereof, os scsi over ide should be measured with the same level of
hardware - new controllers with new disks against old controllers with old
disks is not a good test.
The big scsi advantage may shrink when serial ata becomes readily
availabe, but that won't really be ide. julius
