SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) SCSI is an industry standard for connecting peripheral devices and their controllers to an initiator. Storage devices are daisy-chained together and connected to an HBA. The HBA provides a shared bus that attached peripherals use to pass data to and from the host system. Examples of devices attached to the HBA include disk drives, CD-ROM drives, optical disk drives, and tape drives. In theory, any SCSI device can be plugged into any SCSI controller. See also HBA (host bus adapter). SCSI adapter A SCSI adapter is a 16-bit fast/wide or 8-bit narrow, single-ended or differential physical connection between a router and SCSI devices. Each SCSI adapter supports up to 16 (fast/wide) or 8 (narrow) SCSI devices, including itself. Glossary-4
