Ultra SCSI

A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to

 

20 Mbytes/s over an 8-bit SCSI bus and up to 40 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit

 

SCSI bus. STA (SCSI Trade Association) supports using the term “Ultra

 

SCSI” over the older term “Fast-20”.

Ultra2 SCSI

A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to

 

40 Mbytes/s over an 8-bit SCSI bus, and up to 80 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit

 

SCSI bus. STA (SCSI Trade Association) supports using the term “Ultra2

 

SCSI” over the term “Fast-40”.

Wide SCSI

A SCSI-2 feature allowing 16-bit or 32-bit transfers on the SCSI bus. This

 

dramatically increases the transfer rate over the standard 8-bit SCSI bus.
