In the SCSI chain, bandwidth is SHARED. If you have 7 hard drives in the SCSI chain and they are all going at the same time they get 1/7th of the bandwith.

If there is just one hard drive in the chain that is active it gets all of the bandwidth. With tape drives, ZIP dridve, and CD-ROMs thrown in, who knows how much bandwidth a device will get.

Vendors like to publish data on their device with it being the ONLY device in the chain.
