- Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC), the recognized channel leader in serial RAID storage, announced that it will begin shipping the 3ware(R) 9690SA-4I Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) RAID controller on April 14. The 9690SA-4I will provide customers a value-oriented SAS/SATA configuration option with four internal ports.
- Choosing between them involves a trade off of speed vs. Price, as SCSI is faster, but more expensive. 'From a price perspective, the delta between SCSI and SATA drives is over 5x for a comparably sized drive,' states Barbara Murphy, vice president of marketing for Applied Micro Circuits Corp.' S storage business unit.
- The SCSI Port driver streamlines the Windows storage subsystem by emulating a simplified SCSI adapter. Storage class drivers load on top of the port driver. This means that you can write storage class drivers for Windows with minimal concern for the unique hardware features of each SCSI adapter.
SpeedFan supports SCSI disks too. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). SpeedFan can access digital temperature sensors and can change fan speeds accordingly, thus reducing noise.

Microsoft provides a SCSI Port driver as a standard feature of the Microsoft Windows storage architecture. The SCSI Port driver streamlines the Windows storage subsystem by emulating a simplified SCSI adapter. Storage class drivers load on top of the port driver. This means that you can write storage class drivers for Windows with minimal concern for the unique hardware features of each SCSI adapter.
The emulation capabilities of the SCSI Port driver also allow you to develop minidrivers that are much simpler to design and code than a monolithic port driver. In other words, using the SCSI Port driver allows you to focus on developing a miniport driver that handles the particular features of your adapter.
To use the SCSI Port support routines, link to one of the SCSI Port support libraries, scsiport.lib or scsiwmi.lib. These SCSI Port libraries handle all interaction between the miniport driver and the hardware abstraction layers (HAL) of the operating system. Miniport drivers must not link directly to the HAL support library, hal.lib, nor should they link directly to the ntoskrnl.lib or libcntpr.lib support libraries. SCSI miniport drivers that do so are not eligible for a Windows logo.
The following sections examine the key features of the SCSI Port driver.
