Device Selections Menu (Cont.)

Sync Rate (Mbytes/s) – This option defines the maximum data transfer
rate the host adapter will attempt to negotiate. The host adapter and a
SCSI device must agree to a rate they can both handle.

Width (bits) – This option defines the maximum SCSI data width the
host adapter will attempt to negotiate. The host adapter and a SCSI
device must agree to a width they can both handle. Only host adapters
that can do 16-bit data transfers have this option enabled.

Disconnect – SCSI devices have the ability to disconnect from the
initiator during an I/O transfer. The disconnect option frees the SCSI bus
to allow other I/O processes. This option tells the host adapter whether
or not to allow a device to disconnect. Some devices run faster with
disconnects enabled (typically newer devices), while some run faster with
disconnects disabled (typically older devices).
