Plain old SCSI can do up to 5MB/second if you can eliminate the overhead of SCSI your controller's command processing. With a sufficiently expensive SCSI controller chip, no problem. With ordinary controller chips usually found in an Amiga, HDs rated at the same speed but one with IDE interface and one with SCSI, the IDE one will usually win — but there might not be much CPU left if the IDE isn't DMA 🙂 Dale Larson – An Amiga Software Engineer with lots of time on his hands.
