The faster SCSI bus is the Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), which can achieve data transfer rates of up to 12 Gbps per link, significantly surpassing the older parallel SCSI standards. SAS provides improved performance, scalability, and reliability compared to traditional SCSI interfaces. It supports multiple devices on a single bus while maintaining high-speed communication, making it ideal for enterprise storage solutions. Additionally, SAS is backward compatible with SATA drives, enhancing its versatility in storage environments.
8 Devices can be used on a single SCSI bus.
SCSI
The expansion card called the host adapter is responsible for managing all devices on the SCSI bus. SCSI is a peer to peer interface
Host Adapter
8 devices:)
8 or 16 depending upon the SCSI hardware being used. In a narrow bus, you can use a SCSI ID of 0-7, and in a wide bus, you can use 0-15.
Wide SCSI bus can support up to 16 devices using channels 0-15.

Host Adapter
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, Fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, Ultra2 SCSI: 8 devices Wide SCSI, Fast Wide SCSI, Ultra Wide SCSI, Wide Ultra2 SCSI, Ultra3 SCSI, Ultra160 and 160+ and Ultra320 : 16 devices Of course, the number of devices supported depends not only on protocol limitations, but cable length, number of cables used, etc.
