Chapter 6: Installing and Removing External Devices
About SCSI Buses and Devices
SCSI devices continue to evolve with higher bus bandwidths, faster data transfer rates,
and channels with longer cables and more devices. The OCTANE workstation contains
two wide buses, one for internal devices and one for external devices.
Table 6-1 compares Ultra and Fast, wide and narrow SCSI rates.
Ultra SCSI is also referred to as Fast-20.
The data transfer rate is also affected by the media speed of the SCSI peripheral. Fast-20
SCSI is not merely “fast SCSI.” The “-20” in the term signifies the maximum number of
megatransfers(millionsof 8-bit or 16-bit data transfers persecond)thatcanoccurduring
an I/O operation.

Table 6-2 provides data burst rate information.
Table 6-1 Comparison of Ultra and Fast, Wide and Narrow SCSI Rates
Wide (16 bit) Bus Narrow (8 bit) Bus
Ultra SCSI (Fast-20) 40 MB/s (peak theoretical rate) 40 MB/s (peak theoretical rate)
Fast SCSI 20 MB/s (peak theoretical rate) 10 MB/s (peak theoretical rate)
Table 6-2 Bus Rate + Operating Mode = Data Burst Rates
Existing Bus Operating Mode Data Burst Rate
8-bit Fast 10 MB second
8-bit Ultra 20 MB second
16-bit Fast 20 MB second
16-bit Ultra 40 MB second
