The Small Computer System Interface, or SCSI, connector is a standard interface used for high-speed data transfer between computer systems and peripherals. The design of the SCSI connector enables fast data transmission rates, making it ideal for connecting hard drives, tape drives, scanners, printers, and other external devices. The SCSI interface has evolved over the years to support newer technologies, including SATA and SAS, but it remains an important interface for legacy systems.
