Just curiosity...

I have a Mac+ and a APS quantum 80MB. The HD is now formated
at 1:1 interleave. Since the transfer of data in the case of quantum HDs
is such that Disk --> HDcache --> SCSI --> Mac RAMcache --> normal Mac RAM
I wonder what is the advantage of a 3:1 interleave. Any idea?
(the limiting step is HD cache --> SCSI --> Mac, I guess..., not the
Disk --> HD cache)
