Key Terminology
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80)
-
A Low Voltage Differential variant of Ultra2 SCSI with 80 MB/s raw bandwidth on a 16-bit bus using 40 MHz transfers and enhanced cable length and noise resistance.
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel SCSI standard employing LVD signaling to provide better data transfer performance and longer cables than earlier single-ended versions.
-
Low Voltage Differential (LVD)
-
An electrical signaling method that reduces noise and allows longer cable runs compared to single-ended signaling.
