A10. Yes, though performance is not necessarily better. In fact, 3ware SATA RAID controllers connected to SATA drives outperform SAS controllers connected to SAS drives in sequential I/O applications. 3ware has the industry’s broadest line of both SATA and SAS controllers. 3ware customers can chose the appropriate serial interface that will best fit their design requirement: SATA for cost and performance optimized vertical applications and SAS for high availability and expandability to 128 devices.
