SATA vs SCSI ...

looking at the specs between two cards, the SATA card(s) seem to rate
~100-150MB/s on each channel (if I'm reading right), with both the 3Ware
and ICP cards having 4 individual channels ... looking at the SCSI cards,
they are rated at 320MB/s, but that is total for the SCSI bus itself,
right?
So, if I have three drives on a SCSI bus, each 'maxing out evenly', I'd
be cap'd at about the same 100MB/s per drive, no?
In fact, looking at the SATA 2.x specs, each chanell there is rated at
300MB/s, which, again, if I could 'max out evenly', could seriously blow
away the SCSI bus itself ...
*If* I'm reading this right ... ?
