SCSI Controller & SCSI Cards

SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) controllers have been the foundation of multiple device connections since the beginning of computer peripherals. They are the staple of dedicated and systemized connections. SCSI controller and SCSI Cards are usually found in the expansion slots if you are to look in the system. The daisy-chain method connects multiple devices and computer peripherals to the SCSI system.

What Are SCSI Devices?

The most common SCSI devices are hard drives, scanners, printers, CD-ROM drives, and tape drives. These devices connect to each other through software that is an SCSI system, and the hardware is an SCSI controller. Imagine a daisy chain where each flower is attached to a single stem; similarly, the devices connect and get the name. The SCSI controller, also called the Host Bus Adapter(HBA), is given an identifier (SCSI ID) along with other devices.

The number of devices able to connect is eight, while the Host Bus Adapter is 1, and the controller will decide the other 7 as per the series of connections. In some special cases, the maximum number of connected devices can reach 15.

The SCS Interface is intelligent because its device-independent protocol allows different peripherals to connect in series through a SCSI port. However, it has some limitations, like the slowest device will slow down the entire data transfer function on the chain. Therefore, careful planning and evaluation is required.
