Short description: Description field for SCSI devices
A SCSI Peripheral Device Type describes the capabilities provided by a SCSI device. It is a five-bit field in the first byte returned in response to an INQUIRY SCSI command.[1]
Defined values are:
Value | Device type | Command set | Specification |
---|---|---|---|
00h | Direct-access block device (e.g., magnetic disk) | SBC Direct Access Commands | SCSI Block Commands (SBC) |
01h | Sequential-access device (e.g., magnetic tape) | SSC Sequential Access Commands | SCSI Stream Commands (SSC) |
02h | Printer device | SSC Printer Commands | SCSI Stream Commands (SSC) |
03h | Processor device | SPC Processor Commands | SCSI Primary Commands (SPC) |
04h | Write-once device | SBC Write Once Commands | SCSI Block Commands (SBC) |
05h | CD/DVD-ROM device | MMC CD-ROM Commands | SCSI Multimedia Commands (MMC) |
06h | Scanner device | SGC Scanner Commands | SCSI Graphics Commands (SGC) |
07h | Optical memory device (e.g., some optical disks) | SBC Optical Media Commands | SCSI Block Commands (SBC) |
08h | Medium changer (e.g. jukeboxes) | SMC Medium Changer Commands | SCSI Medium Changer Commands (SMC) |
09h | Communications device | SSC Communications Commands | SCSI Stream Commands (SSC) |
0Ah–0Bh | Defined by ASC IT8 (Graphic arts pre-press devices) | ASC IT8 Prepress Commands | |
