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:
“And the serial continues:
Pain, expiation, delight, more pain,
A frieze that lengthens continually, in the lucky way
Friezes do, and no plot is produced,
Nothing you could hang an identifying question on.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
