Sure they are, the Amiga 600HD (and 1200?) use IDE disks and you can buy IDE controllers for A500. > even approaches this potential.

Most IDE-drives I've tested have 700-1100KB/sec transfer rate compared to 1200-2000KB/sec SCSI-drives usually have. And under a real OS like UNIX or OS/2 that use advanced features like bus-mastering, mailboxes, command queueing etc you get even better performance compared to IDE.
