	SCSI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SCSI stands for "Small Computer System Interface", and is a standard interface and command set for transferring data between devices on a computer bus.
		SCSI is most commonly used for hard disks and tape storage devices, but also connects a wide range of other devices, including scanners, CD-ROM drives, CD recorders, and DVD drives.
		SCSI devices are generally backward-compatible, i.e., it is possible to connect an ultra-3 SCSI hard disk to an ultra-2 SCSI controller and use it (though with reduced speed and feature set).

	SCSI - a Whatis.com definition - see also: skuzzy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		SCSI allows up to 7 or 15 devices (depending on the bus width) to be connected to a single SCSI port in daisy-chain fashion.
		A single host adapter, in the form of a PC Card, can serve as a SCSI interface for a laptop, freeing up the parallel and serial ports for use with an external modem and printer while allowing other devices to be used in addition.
		The latest SCSI standard is Ultra-3 (sometimes spelled "Ultra3")which increases the maximum burst rate from 80 Mbps to 160 Mbps by being able to operate at the full clock rate rather than the half-clock rate of Ultra-2.

	Enterprise Design for DAS
		SCSI is the most commonly used type of media and protocol for directly attached storage and processors in enterprise class servers.
		SCSI interfaces, with their extended device management capacity, are good mechanisms for accessing external storage cabinets, which offer some performance, availability, and scalability capacity.
		SCSI Fast: This standard permits clock speeds of 5-10 MHz but is typically implemented as 10 MHz, which implies a synchronous data transfer rate of 10 MBps on a 1-byte-wide (8-bit) bus and a synchronous data transfer rate of 20 MBps on a 2-byte-wide (16-bit) bus.

		All PnP SCSI devices are required to use drivers and receivers which meet the specifications defined in single-ended alternative of the SCSI-3 Parallel Interface.
		PnP SCSI peripheral subsystems attached to the SCSI bus shall be terminated by installing an external terminator into the remaining open connector on the last peripheral subsystem on the bus.
		The SCSI bus internal to the enclosure is routed from one external SCSI connector to the SCSI device(s) within the enclosure and then to the second external SCSI device connector.

	SCSI pinouts, SCSI interface, parallel interface, SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3
		The SCSI interface is a parallel interface, which means the data is not send one bit after another, but several bits over several lines at the same time.
		Because of the definition of SCSI that a job is given by a initiator and then carried out by a target without the initiator knowing how the target is doing it and even not knowing when the job is done the roles of initiator and target may switch.
		In SCSI there is also active termination, which means the termination is done by a voltage regulator and some resitors.

	SCSI Glossary: Practical Definitions and Terminologies for SCSI
		The SCSI command and data phases are reduced from a seven to a three phase process and then further combines the status phase and message phase that occur after a data transfer.
		SCSI messages are used during the command transfer to negotiate the fast and wide transfer options for the data transfer.
		A result of the "intelligence" of SCSI that allows an initiator or target to disconnect from the bus while it is performing a task, such as locating some information at a specific address, and, once it has located the information, reconnect to the bus in order to complete its task.

	SCSI Revision Levels
		For example, a comparable set of standards for a SCSI Fiber Channel interface disc drive replaces the physical and protocol layers with new documents but uses the same documents for the other 3 layers.
		The Fibre Channel interface is completely different from parallel SCSI in that it is a serial interface, meaning command and data information is transmitted on one signal stream organized into packets.
		This is a Seagate specific term describing the basic structure of the SCSI firmware included with a Seagate disc drive and standing for Advanced SCSI Architecture, generation 2.

	SCSI Interface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		SCSI is an entirely different interface than the more popular IDE.
		The end result is that each piece of SCSI hardware has its own host adapter, and the software drivers for the device cannot work with an adapter made by someone else.
		SCSI is a relatively easy thing to implement, should you wish to.

	High Performance SCSI & RAID: What is SCSI ?
		Interfaces prior to SCSI were not intelligent and were designed for specific devices.
		Thus there was a hard disk interface for a hard drive, a tape drive interface for a tape drive, and so on.
		Because it was the first SCSI standard, SCSI-1 had some limitations such as not being as "general-purpose" and fast as it needed to be.

	SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) (Linktionary term)
		SCSI (pronounced "scuzzy") is a family of disk interface systems that provide access services for peripheral I/O devices such as disk drives, CD-ROM discs, optical disks, tape drives, scanners, and other devices.
		SCSI is normally implemented in host adapters, which provides a shared bus to which peripheral devices attach.
		Ultra3 SCSI adds features such as the ability to choose the highest possible data transfer rate; packetization (transfer multiple commands and messages at once); and QAS (quick arbitrate and select), which provides faster arbitration to reduce connect/disconnect on the bus.

	Expanding the SCSI bus
		The SCSI interface is projected by most industry analysts to maintain its hold on the mass storage market through the year 2005.
		The parallel SCSI interface has increased in speed while using the same physical transmission mediums defined when the bus was more than 10 times slower.
		Parallel SCSI Expanders used as extenders separate a SCSI bus (SCSI domain) into more than one physical segment, each of which can have the full SCSI cable length for that type.

	SCSI(-3) Parallel Interface (SPI)
		The first description of the parallel interface was accomplished in a rather confusing way, through the use of three different documents (see this page for more details on the standards documents):
		Protocol: The protocol for parallel SCSI was defined in a document entitled SCSI-3 Interlocked Protocol (SIP).
		Taken collectively, these are sometimes called Ultra SCSI or Wide Ultra SCSI, which are really informal or marketing terms; sometimes, Ultra SCSI refers specifically to the faster signaling rates themselves.

	LVD - Ultra2 SCSI Low Voltage Differential Drives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		LVD also provides for easy integration of up to 16 devices on the SCSI bus using 12 meters of cable, providing the data integrity of differential at approximately the same cost as the older single-ended designs and the parallel SCSI bus performance needed for Seagate’s high-performance Barracuda and Cheetah drive families.
		This is a dramatic increase from Ultra SCSI single-ended cable restrictions of 3 meters and maximum burst transfer rates of 40 Mbytes/sec.
		A unique DiffSens circuit determines the type of SCSI bus the device is being used on, LVD or single-ended, and configures the drive operation to the appropriate bus capability, otherwise known as multi-moding.

		The third generation of the SCSI parallel interface is, unsurprisingly, called the SCSI(-3) Parallel Interface - 3 or SPI-3.

		In doing so, the SCSI world was mercifully rid of one of the worst acronyms in the history of the computer industry.
