RAID 6 Principles: A Deep-Dive Tutorial: SATA hard drives are continuing to assume new roles within enterprise applications. While a hard disk's expected useful life is largely independent of its host controller interface (SATA, FC-AL, SCSI, SAS, etc,), the present conventional perspective is that desktop hard drives have SATA interfaces and enterprise disks have FC-AL, SCSI,...; Tags: Hard Drive, SCSI, SAS Institute, RAID, Serial ATA, Storage, Hardware; White papers 2007-03-22
SCSI/SATA RAID Controller Replacement: Have anyone run into a situation where the SCSI/SATA RAID controller stopped functioning and the only replacement is a different make or model? This paper shows how the authors recovered from this situation. They ran into this on a rather critical system since it was a Microsoft Windows 2003 Server...; Tags: Controller, SCSI, Serial ATA, RAID, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Storage, Hardware, Operating Systems, Microsoft Windows, Software; White papers 2006-11-20

SCSI Solutions White Paper - HP-UX: SCSI Small Computer System Interface is an ANSI standard for interconnecting computers to peripheral devices such as disks, tapes, CD ROMs, and autochangers. In its original form known as SCSI-1, it was a narrow (8-bit) parallel bus with a 5 MB/second maximum transfer rate which supported only single-ended transmission with...; Tags: HP-UX, Hewlett-Packard Co., SCSI; White papers 2005-06-15
SCSI Vs SATA, Which Is Faster?: When configuring a server or high end custom computer, one is often asked about the performance benefits of SCSI over SATA. Since SCSI is much more expensive, the common perception is that it must be significantly faster.
