Ars has updated their 1999 article to bring it to current standards.
SCSI by definition is the Small Computer Systems Interface (typically pronounced scuzzy--although some people take offense at this). However, as the SCSI architecture has evolved over the last several years, especially with the advent of SCSI-3, this definition has become misleading. When SCSI began in the very early 1980's, computers and computer peripherals were far from being mainstream and during this nascent age the definition fit like a glove. Like any good standard, SCSI has evolved over time to (1) keep pace with the ever-increasing options available for computers as well as to (2) keep up with the increasing demands for performance and stability that are now expected not only of servers, but also from home PCs and higher-end workstations.
