Serial Attached SCSI is an ideal I/O interface for server storage applications. The SAS protocol supports SAS disk devices and also includes support for the Serial ATA 3Gb/sprotocol and command set, offering customers the flexibility to directly connect both high performance SAS disk drives and high capacity low cost SATA disk drives to the same SAS controller. This added flexibility makes it easy for companies to standardize on a single I/O infrastructure for both mission critical storage and secondary storage dependent solely upon the disk drives installed. Customers can standardize on a single I/O controller or storage system for all of their storage configurations, reducing training and repair costs.
