It stands for, "small computer system interface." Commonly referred to as "Scuzzy" It was (and is) the old school method and platform for connecting hardware to a computer. IE printers, Hard Drives, etc. Ironically it's transfer rates were and are faster. It is also known as "Daisey chain."
----------------------------------------------------
An SCSI interface is an adapter card used to connect SCSI devices to your computer. Similiar to a parallel port.

SCSI is an intelligent, peripheral, buffered, peer to peer interface. It hides the complexity of physical format.
Every device attaches to the SCSI bus in a similar manner. Up to 8 or 16 devices can be attached to a single bus.
SCSI interface would be what you're looking for.
Why is there confusion between EIDE and SCSI drive interface standards
SCSI is an acronym for Small Computer Systems Interface.
A CD drive can interface with a mother board using an EIDE, SATA or SCSI interface.

I am assuming you mean what is SCSI used for? In this case, SCSI does NOT mean "small computer serial interface," instead, it means "Small Computer SYSTEM Interface." SCSI is used as a fast interface between a host adapter and the CPU that can daisy chain as many as 7 or 15 devices on a single bus.
SCSI, pronounced as scuzzy, stands for Small Computer System Interface. An SCSI port is used to attach peripheral devices that use the SCSI system , mainly for data transfer.
The expansion card called the host adapter is responsible for managing all devices on the SCSI bus. SCSI is a peer to peer interface
scsi stands for small computer system interface and is used for disk drives and other computer devices
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
Research and development of SCSI standards is done by the T10 Technical Committee. SCSI is short for Small Computer System Interface.
