SCSI Basics for Networking Students

The document discusses the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), which is a set of standards for connecting peripheral devices like disk drives, printers, and scanners to computers. It describes the different generations of SCSI from SCSI-1 to SCSI-3, noting their cable types, transfer speeds, and number of supported devices. The document also covers SCSI IDs, external vs internal SCSI, and the advantages and disadvantages of the SCSI interface standards.

SCSI

 The small Computer System Interface is a set of parallel


interface standards for attaching disk drivers, printers,
scanners and other peripherals to the computers.
 It’s
a drive interface standards that had been around
long as the earliest ATA standards.
STORAGE DEVICES

 Itcan hold and store information both temporarily and


externally can be internal or external to a computer,
server or any similar computing device.
TYPES OF SCSI
SCSI 1 (NARROW SCSI)

 It’sused 50 pin cable with maximum transfer rate


5MBps and it used 8 bit bus and support a maximum 8
device (HD).
SCSI 2

 Itused 25,50 or 68 pin cable with a transfer rate of


10MBps it originally used 8 bit bus but an enhancement
fast wide SCSI that uses 16 bit bus and support 16
device with transfer rate of 20MBps.
SCSI 3

 It uses 50,68 or 80 pin cable and the most common cable


is 80 pin single connector attachment(SCA) it’s also
called SCSI .also used 16 devices connected.
 Types speeds (MBps) speeds(Gbps)
 Ultra 160 160 MBps 1.28 Gbps
 Ultra 320 320 MBps 2.56 Gbps
 Ultra 640 640 MBps 5.12 Gbps
SCSI ID

 SCSI device are control by SCSI controller each devices


including the controller is assign SCSI ID using number
from 0 to 15 the controller is normally assign the
highest priority SCSI ID of 7.it’s used a controller ID.
EXTERNAL SCSI

 ExternalSCSI devices are connected to the host adapter


through the special SCSI external connector of the host
adapter.
 Allexternal connection have two connection it the back
to the allow for daisy chaining of multiple devices.
INTERNAL SCSI

 Internal SCSI device are installed inside the PC and


connect to the host adapter through the internal
connector.
 Multiple internal devices can be connected together by
using a cable with more connector.
ADVANTAGE

 Its performance is much faster than IDE or SATA.


 Many devices (nearly 16) can e attached at the same
time on a single controller.
 Theperipheral devices of the same type have common
characteristics so it is easy to replace old devices.
 Theperipheral devices are independent so the computer
can do other work.
DISADVANTAGES

 The SCSI drives and hardware are even more expensive


than IDE or SATA.
 Itmay be difficult to configure older models because
each device needs a special ID number and correct
termination.
