(click thumbnail)This year SCSI, the industry-recognized naming acronym for "Small Computer Systems Interface" is 20 years young. SCSI standards began their evolution under a different name – SASI – ...

The computer hardware industry is capitalizing on new bus and drive technologies aimed at faster data transfer, improved storage, and increased reliability and efficiency. These advances drive system ...

Some of these features were supported by other storage media, but the hard disk was the first medium to support all of these features. Consequently, the hard disk helped make many advances possible in ...

Serial Attached SCSI drives are fast, robust, and for the most part identical to the high-performance devices already in use in the enterprise. Not only are they built to the same specifications that ...

In 2003, the storage industry has taken major steps in transitioning from a decades-old interface technology to one that will potentially revolutionize the way new hard disk drives (HDDs) are designed ...

For more than 20 years, the parallel bus interface has been the mainstream storage interconnect for most storage systems. But increasing bandwidth and flexibility demands have exposed inefficiencies ...

The storage industry constantly faces the challenge of trying to manage ever increasing amounts of information efficiently and inexpensively. As a result, iSCSI-based IP storage-area networks (SANs) ...

Once, long ago, in a galaxy not so far away, storage interfaces were pretty much proprietary things. Eventually the world split into storage devices dedicated to mainframes and storage devices devoted ...
