Rabba,
you are right. The original Falcon IDE drives were terribly, terribly slow. The SCSI-ones outperformed it by the double.
However todays 2.5" are faster (transfer-rate) than before. And if you accelerate the Falcon bus, the IDE with get a further kick as well and be considerably faster (speaking about the the transferrate. The accessrate and missing DMA still remains).
HOWEVER
Cubase Audio *REQUIRES* a SCSI-disk to record, no matter what IDE you put in.
I guess the ones telling "IDE works fine for me" has not used Cubase Audio or perhaps only sampled/replayed two channels at once, while in Cubase you can do sixteen.
Of course there might exist third-party Cubase patches that removes the SCSI-check control..
