How many drives can be exercised, at the same time on a SCSI channel,
before it is saturated?
How many drives can be exercised, at the same time on a IDE channel,
before it is saturated?
For example, copying files between drives on the same Channel.

These (completely un-rigorous) tests seem to suggest that the
performance margin between SCSI and IDE isn't as great as the price
margin. Depending on the feedback I get, I might do some more
testing. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions/thoughts on how I can
achieve some more data? E.g., other methods, other programs,
...anything that doesn't involve buying stuff :)
Although the IDE/SCSI performance margin has narrowed significantly in
the past few years, SCSI still has other advantages, such as allowing up
to 15 devices per channel. My main workstation has 7 SCSI devices
which, if they were IDE, would require 4(!) IDE channels.
Performance isn't everything...
