(3) LVD was not defined in the original SCSI standards for this speed. If all devices on the bus support LVD, then 12-meters operation is possible at this speed. However, if any device on the bus is singled-ended only, then the entire bus switches to single-ended mode and the distances in the single-ended column apply.

Clock Speed: This refers strictly to the frequency of the clock (strobe) used to control synchronous transfers of data on the SCSI bus. With current technology this can be 5, 10, 20, 40 or 80 MHz. For more on clocks and how clock speeds work, see this fundamentals page.

Different combinations of doubled bus speed, doubled clock speed and SCSI-3 specifications have led to lots of SCSI variations. The chart below compares several of them. Many of the slower ones are no longer in use -- we've included them for comparison.

This is only the same as the clock speed of the bus if single transition (conventional) clocking is used. Faster SCSI implementations now use double transition clocking, and this means the transfer rate (in millions of transfers per second) will be double the clock speed in MHz.

Looking at how data rates have increased historically, it can be noted that SCSI performance has doubled approximately every five years. This is summarized below: Note: STA [ SCSI Trade Association] SCSI Speed refers to the SCSI Device Data Xfer rate.

Probably the reason is that IDE drives are cheaper than SCSI type devices. For most workstation usage, the IDE interface is more than adequate. But if high speed disk access is crucial, the choice should be SCSI.

Buffalo's BR-X1216U3 still works with USB 2.0, but you just won't get the same speed boost. 7x is the maximum you can expect with the previous, more pedestrian standard. To help, it has support for Buffalo's TurboUSB drivers which can give you up to 15% more speed.
