How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T8470136 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: SCSI Enclosure Services (SES)
Context triple: [T10, worksOnStandard, SCSI Enclosure Services (SES)]

A. SCSI
SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is a set of standards for connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices, widely used for high-performance storage solutions.
B. Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP)
Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP) is a protocol used in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) systems to transport SCSI commands and data over high-speed serial links between storage devices and controllers.
C. Serial Attached SCSI
Serial Attached SCSI is a high-speed, point-to-point serial interface standard used primarily in enterprise storage systems to connect servers with hard drives and solid-state drives, offering improved performance, scalability, and reliability over parallel SCSI.
D. Fibre Channel
Fibre Channel is a high-speed network technology primarily used to connect computer data storage in storage area networks (SANs), offering low-latency, high-throughput communication for enterprise environments.
E. iSCSI
iSCSI is a storage networking protocol that transports SCSI commands over IP networks, enabling block-level data access over standard Ethernet infrastructure.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
