SCSI allows for multiple requests/writes/reads concurrently. EIDE/IDE/ATAPI sort of does it as give one a little time, give the next a little time, etc.
Now I do not use SCSI for my HD's with 133 drives out there it really isn't needed for probably 99% of all users (other than bragging rights that you have U320 15k's).
My main reason for wanting this was mainly I built my SCSI optical backbone during the time before and during initial 'BurnProof' Technology. In the beginning, opening a file on the same drive you were trying to burn from resulted in a coaster, playing a game while burning resulted in a coaster, not watching the burn resulted in a coaster 😉.
Burnproof does add quite a bit of overhead, however, in the advent of CPU's that just tear up the average users needs (esp the 3.06GHz+ types) this overhead is not 'felt'.
Also for my CompactFlash reading/writing, going through the SCSI bus is a limit of the media you are using. I can download off two cards at the same time and do whatever.
For me it works well, but for the guy with the new box looking just to game and burn dvd's and mp3's once a week or less....just not the way to go.
USB2 and faster Firewire is narrowing/has narrowed this gap as far as bandwidth goes.

well just updating the thread people decided to reply too, despite me pointing to the right topic.
If you don't care about SCSI you wouldn't get the value of this....but DVD burning over SCSI is/was a popular thread since DVD burners came out. There are still none, natively.
Again if you don't get it just find another topic if you are going to p00p.

😉 seriously if crap can be spit out in the periphs forum where my other post is...
N0C understands the issue. If you are not MULTITASKING (running Outlook, Word, IExplore.exe, and the like is not really multitasking to me)...then forget about SCSI....
However if you scan, burn, play mp3's, watch dvd's and the like at the same time SCSI goes a long way. I remember smoking 486's in benchmarks and occasionally pentiums (I's) with a 386/25 on drive throughput with a Future Domain controller 🙂.
Like I said though many do not need this....many don't need anything more than a 1.2-1.5 PIV class processor either, nor the PC10000 memory, nor the ....
