Pardon?  Usually, when one has a data bus for several parallel data
lines at once, one refers to it as parallel.

Serial - one data line, that sends bits sequentially.
Parallel - several data lines, that send bits simultaneously.

The most usual way of finding SCSI used with drives was as a parallel
bus, anywhere from 25 to 50 pins per connector.
