T

target

The storage-device endpoint of a SCSI session. Initiators request data from targets (usually disk
drives, tape drives, or other media devices). Typically, a SCSI peripheral device is the target but
an adapter may, in some cases, be a target. A target can contain many LUNs. A target is a
device that responds to a request by an initiator (the host system). Peripherals are targets, but for
some commands (for example, a SCSI COPY command), the peripheral may act as an initiator.
