SCSI (pronounced "scuzzy") stands for Small Computer System Interface, and is probably the fastest parallel bus in use today, although not the most common. Its main use is with
160 MB/s transfer rates.

video card; heck, video cards are why PCIe was invented in the first place. So you may not have a PCIe expansion slot available or, if you do have one available, you should seriously consider reserving it for a video card rather than a SCSI Expansion.
SCSI Expansion Cards
It seems that, when SCSI was first invented, the idea was that people would look at the acronym and pronounce it ''sexy''. Well, I guess sometimes in life you go for sexy, and just get scuzzy instead.
SCSI expansion cards add SCSI connectivity for external devices to your motherboard. SCSI1, because, after all, there's a limit to the transfer rate a CD drive really needs. Suppose the drive can only read 20 MB/s; what's the sense then in having a 160 MB/s interface? Anyway, you might still want that 160 MB/s when it comes to hard drives, scanners, that type of thing.
