==Compatibility==

Different SCSI transports, which are not compatible with each other, usually have unique connectors to avoid accidental mis-plugging of incompatible devices. For example, it is not possible to plug a parallel SCSI disk into an [[FC-AL]] backplane, nor to connect a cable between an SSA initiator and an FC-AL enclosure.<!--[[User:Kvng/RTH]]-->

===Mixing different speeds===

SCSI devices in the same SCSI transport family are generally [[backward compatibility|backward- compatible]]. Within the parallel SCSI family, for example, it is possible to connect an Ultra-3 SCSI hard disk to an Ultra-2 SCSI controller. albeitThe withinterface reducedoperates speedat andthe featurelowest setcommon supported standard, Ultra-2 in this case.<!--[[User:Kvng/RTH]]-->
