The same test on a scsisetup much like the above just with scsidisk :

*:~# hdparm -T /dev/sdb5 

/dev/sdb5:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  0.95 seconds =134.74 MB/sec

/dev/sdb5:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  3.42 seconds = 18.71 MB/sec

When it comes to real world test my scsibased system is almost twice
as fast as the idebased one :)
