That is the point. SCSI disks have historically outperformed IDE drives.
It is only in the last few years that the gap has started to narrow. I
also depends on the operation.
I have had really old SCSI drives outperform much newer IDE drives under
certain conditions. Specially where there is lots of random I/O at the
same time there is multi-user access patterns.
I think it really comes down to whether the user wants the absolute
performance (ie go with SCSI), or wants a better value for the money in
which case IDE would probably be the choice.
