| What Is SCSI? And why Choose SCSI? SCSI stands for "Small
Computer System Interface" and is pronounced "scuzzy". And it is the name for a
connection from your PC to your hard drive and your other peripherals. This
connection is made through a SCSI card, which fits inside your computer.
SCSI is your prior choice to deliver the performance power users want
from their desktop or PC workstation, and to connect the fastest and highest
capacity HDDs and peripherals
Tekram SCSI Delivers Performance
With the appearance of faster processors, sophisticated operating systems,
demanding applications and wide range of peripherals, SCSI is key to eliminating
the I/O bottlenecks that occur in standard PCs. ultra Wide SCSI runs up to 40
Megabytes per second versus EIDE's 16.7 Megabytes per second. And ultra2 Wide
SCSI runs at an even faster rate of up to 80 Megabytes per second versus ultra
DMA's 33 Megabytes per second. Other key performance points to consider:
Windows NT® has up to 3 times faster throughput with SCSI than EIDE
Photoshop is 22% faster with SCSI than EIDE
Filemaker Pro is 14% faster with SCSI than EIDE
AutoCAD is 33% faster with SCSI than EIDE
Tekram SCSI Lets You Connect to the Fastest Peripherals
When you select a new peripheral, you usually have a choice between SCSI and
other less capable connections. If you attach a SCSI card to your computer, you
get quick, easy connectivity to the fastest, and highest-capacity peripherals on
the market. And SCSI is surprisingly easy to install. Here are some peripheral
facts you should know:
Zip drives using a SCSI connection are 6 times faster than those using a
parallel connection
SCSI scanners are 2 times faster than parallel ones
The fastest, highest-capacity hard drives are SCSI
SCSI can connect 7 to 15 internal or external peripherals on a single card. EIDE
and ultra DMA/33 are limited to a maximum of 4 internal devices.
