SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) was dominant in enterprise and professional computing environments from the 1980s through 2000s, particularly in servers and workstations in both Brazil and the USA. While largely replaced by SATA and USB technologies, it remains important in legacy systems and high-performance storage arrays. The term is primarily used by IT professionals and is generally pronounced 'scuzzy' in English-speaking contexts rather than spelling it out letter-by-letter.
