SeaTools drive diagnostic checklist Online warranty verification Contact Support Ultra160 Technology Paper Ultra160 SCSI, also known as Ultra3 SCSI LVD, is a new SCSI interface standard. SCSI has a 15-year heritage of maintaining full backward compatibility and excellent forward compatibility. Every two years or so, small, evolutionary changes are made to the standard, improving speed, reliability, and manageability. Ultra160 SCSI is the next step.
Implementation is straightforward, easy, and low-risk.
SCSI provides double the transfer rate of its predecessor, Ultra2 SCSI, while increasing manageability and reliability. All changes are incremental, meaning that Ultra160 SCSI devices are backward compatible with single-ended Narrow and Wide SCSI devices. Seagate Ultra160 SCSI disc drives do not support SCSI-1. See below . SCSI employs proven techniques to achieve increased performance and reliability.
