What is a SCSI device and SCSI controller?
SCSI stands for “Small Computer System Interface”. It is a bus standard approved by the ANSI committee (ANSI X3.131). SCSI is basically an I/O bus protocol for connecting hard disks, tape drives and other peripherals. It can support upto seven devices and can operate either in synchronous mode (at 5 MB/s) or in asynchronous mode (at 1.5 MB/s). A SCSI controller sits between the SCSI bus and the SCSI devices and implements the SCSI protocol.
