WideUltra SCSI is a parallel storage interface that combines the doubled clock speed of Ultra SCSI with the 16-bit data path of Wide SCSI. This configuration yields a maximum theoretical throughput of 40 MB/s. It requires high-quality cabling and active termination to maintain signal integrity over the bus.
