Sync Rate (Mbytes/s) – This option defines the maximum data transfer rate the host adapter will attempt to negotiate. The host adapter and a SCSI device must agree to a rate they can both handle.

Width (bits) – This option defines the maximum SCSI data width the host adapter will attempt to negotiate. The host adapter and a SCSI device must agree to a width they can both handle. Only host adapters that can do 16-bit data transfers have this option enabled.

Disconnect – SCSI devices have the ability to disconnect from the initiator during an I/O transfer. The disconnect option frees the SCSI bus to allow other I/O processes. This option tells the host adapter whether or not to allow a device to disconnect. Some devices run faster with disconnects enabled (typically newer devices), while some run faster with disconnects disabled (typically older devices).
