SCSI

The SCSI busses on the bridges can theoretically handle up to 15 drives per bus.

Harry Mason, President of the STA Board of Directors and Director of Industry Marketing at LSI Logic, stated, "The Serial Attached SCSI specification continues its predicted development and review schedule.

The SCSI doesn't care about leg room in the box seats.

Despite the praise heaped on SCSI technology, the devices often are difficult to install and certain configurations can interfere with existing software because hardware and software vendors have not agreed on standardized interface designs--that is, the components sometimes talk a slightly different language.

While its legacy has had a profound impact on the server market and the creation of other logical SCSI compatible standards, its most exciting era lies ahead.

ATA drives, once thought the smaller capacity product when compared to SCSI drives, have made substantial strides in storage capacity, overtaking other drive types.

The Winstation SCSI ZIP 250 Disk Drive is perfect for the imbedded server market, Kiosk Systems and of course your PC applications across all operating systems," said Jill Colee, Marketing Vice President at Winstation Systems.

The new FFD Ultra320 SCSI is specifically designed for mission critical systems required by the military, aerospace, telecommunication, video server, broadcasting and factory automation industries.

Furthermore, Parallel SCSI does not support device hot plugging.

The E-Disk(R) Ultra320 SCSI is OS independent and features up to 42 (Micro)sec access time and a maximum IOPS of 12,500.

These early expanders were often called converters, because they converted the downstream SCSI signaling scheme and were simply modeled in the system as a slight cable delay.

The new SiP56xx SCSI terminator family from Vishay Siliconix is intended for use in backplanes, host adapters, cabling in RAID disk arrays, storage area networks (SANs), network attached storage (NAS), servers and workstations, industrial computers and high-end personal computers.

Serial Attached SCSI will enable IT managers to select one storage system to meet all of these requirements.

Reinforcing its undisputed technology leadership in the solid state disk industry, BiTMICRO(R) Networks today announced at Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting 2004 being held October 25-27, 2004 at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC its achievement of another major industry milestone with its recent shipment of the E-Disk(R) 3S320D -- the world's first Ultra320 SCSI solid state flash disk drive.

Serial-Attached SCSI is the latest rebirth of SCSI and promises to greatly expand upon the existing capabilities of this enterprise storage connect.
