Re: SCSI vs. IDE performance test

I just ran some benchmarks against a 10K SCSI drive and 7200 RPM IDE
drive here:

The results vary quite a bit, and it seems the file system you use
can make a huge difference. 

SCSI is obviously faster, but a 20% performance gain for 5x the cost is
only worth it for a very small percentage of people, I would think.
