SCSI (Small Computer System Interface)

An acronym for "Small Computer System Interface". A set ofstandards for physically connecting and transferring databetween computers and peripheral devices. The SCSI commandarchitecture was originally defined for parallel SCSI buses buthas been carried forward with minimal change for use withiSCSI and serial SCSI. Pronounced "skuzzy".

The technology that connects various devices to PCs using a SCSI card that fits inside a computer.

Small computer systems interface (pronounced "scuzzy"). A short-range (25 meters or less) protocol designed to link host computers with storage devices such as disk drives. Typically implemented over copper cabling, SCSI is the most widely used and the oldest method of connecting computers to storage devices. Its distance limitations and lack of support for fiber helped launch the migration to SANs.

Pronounced "scuzzy," an acronym for Small Computer System Interface, a high performance parallel interface for connecting mass storage devices

A set of standards allowing computers to communicate with attached devices, such as storage devices (disk drives, tape libraries etc) and printers. SCSI also refers to a parallel interconnect technology which implements the SCSI protocol.

a standard, intelligent parallel interface for attaching peripheral devices to computers, based on a device independent protocol. See SSA.

Pronounced skuzzy. A common, industry standard, electronic interface (highway) between computers and peripherals, such as hard discs, CD-ROM drives and scanners. SCSI allows for up to 7 devices to be attached in a chain via cables. As of this writing, the current SCSI standard is SCSI II, also known as Fast SCSI.
