Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Ultra-3) represent?
-
It is a version of the Small Computer System Interface parallel storage standard with specific signaling and bus management for block-level transfers.
-
Why convert from SCSI (Ultra-3) to SCSI (Fast Ultra)?
-
To ensure compatibility benchmarking and optimize performance when integrating or upgrading storage subsystem components.
-
Is this conversion valid for serial storage interfaces?
-
No, this conversion is specific to parallel SCSI interfaces and does not apply to serial or alternative storage standards.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-3)
-
A parallel storage interface standard generation specifying signaling and bus management for block data transfers.
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra)
-
Parallel SCSI signaling modes that enhance device-to-host throughput combining Fast and Ultra extensions.
-
Data Transfer
-
The process of moving data between storage devices and hosts in a computing environment.
