Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Fast)
-
A legacy parallel SCSI bus extension that increases data transfer rates to approximately 10 MB/s by using faster timing and signaling.
-
Gigabit/second [Gb/s]
-
A data transfer rate unit representing one billion bits transmitted per second, commonly used to measure network and digital communication speeds.
