Serial SCSI
Serial SCSI disk-drives have recently been introduced. They use smaller connectors due to the reduced number of signals required. There are three types of physical layer transports specified:
- Fibre Channel, also called FC
- SAS, Serial Attached SCSI
- SSA, the Serial Storage Architecture
Additionally, there is the iSCSI transport, which is not present on the drives themselves, but is used to connect devices using TCP/IP networks. The drives themselves would use one of the other three connector types.

Famous quotes containing the word serial:
“The serial number of a human specimen is the face, that accidental and unrepeatable combination of features. It reflects neither character nor soul, nor what we call the self. The face is only the serial number of a specimen.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
