What is SCSI?

SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a set of standards for physically connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices. It is commonly used to connect hard disk drives, tape drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, and printers. While largely superseded by SATA and SAS in modern systems, SCSI was prevalent in servers and high-performance workstations due to its high transfer rates and ability to connect multiple devices to a single interface.
