T10 SCSI Storage Interfaces | Storage Networking Fundamentals: An Introduction to Storage Devices, Subsystems, Applications, Management, and File Systems (Vol 1)

The INCITS T10 committee website is at http://www.t10.org/. Among the draft documents available at this website are excellent versions of the SCSI Architecture Model (SAM). A great deal of open-system storage operating theory can be derived by reading the SAM documents.
