The final SCSI device in the chain of devices must be terminated. If you have only one device and it's attached to a SCSI port, you must terminate that device. If you have two or more SCSI devices that are linked together and to a shared SCSI Port ie: SCSI Port, Device #1, Device #2, etc, then the final device in the 'chain' must be terminated to allow for proper recognition. The SCSI Port also requires a terminator as well.

What might happen if a SCSI bus is not properly terminated?

Performance may suffer; the initiator (SCSI controller) may not see the SCSI targets (i.e, disks) ... or they may disappear at some really bad time; or performance might be great but you will get a lot of errors and data corruption ; The correct answer depends on a lot of variables including cable length; whether or not the controller and/or any of the disks are terminated; type of SCSI you use; quality of SCSI cabling; and SCSI device physical topology. Your computer may not even boot or spin up the whatever is connected to the SCSI controller. Bottom line, SCSI absolutely must be terminated properly. If it isn't, bad things may happen at unpredictable times.


Can a SCSI device be attached to an USB port?

Yes, a SCSI device can be attached to a USB port. The SCSI device will have a small rectangular piece on the side that you can insert into the USB port opening.

No, it identifies the physical device, which can have several logical devices embedded in it.


What is a Hitachi HDS721616PLA SCSI disk device my computer tells me that the program is still running and that I cannot safely remove the device?

It is your hard drive, most likely it is not SCSI, it is SATA, just Windows recognize it as SCSI. You really should not attempt to remove it if it is the main HDD from which you boot your Windows.


What is a SCSI host adaptor?

A SCSI host adapter is a device used to connect one or more other SCSI devices to a computer bus. It is commonly called a SCSIcontroller, which is not strictly correct as any component understanding the SCSI protocol can be called a controller. It connects to the PCI Express.

What is a SCSI port?

SCSI or Small Computer System Interface is a set of standards for connecting computers and peripheral devices for data transfer. SCSI is commonly used for hard disks and tape drives, but can connect a wide range of other devices like optical drives like CD/DVD drive if the specific device being connected supports the standard. There are different SCSI port types like parallel SCSI, serial SCSI, Fiber SCSI and iSCSI. More details can also be found on Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCSI - Neeraj Sharma
