The 68-pin Wide SCSI interface was the dominant high-performance storage standard of that era, used extensively in Unix workstations from Sun Microsystems, Silicon Graphics (SGI), Hewlett-Packard, and IBM, as well as in rack-mounted servers from Compaq and Dell. These drives are still sought after by maintainers of legacy Sun SPARC and SGI IRIX systems, vintage workstation collectors, and anyone needing replacement storage for aging SCSI-based equipment. The half-height 3.5-inch form factor fits standard drive bays of the period. Wide SCSI supports data transfer rates up to 40 MB/s and allowed daisy-chaining of up to 15 devices per bus — a significant advantage over IDE in multi-drive server configurations of the time.
