How does Serial Attached SCSI benefit the storage industry?
SAS leverages the proven SCSI technologies that customers expect in data center environments, providing robust solutions and generational consistency. It is based on a serial interface, allowing for increased device support and bandwidth scalability, and reducing the overhead impact that challenges today’s SCSI environments. It utilizes SATA development work on smaller cable connectors, providing customers a downstream compatibility with desktop class ATA technologies. Simplified routing will enable a new generation of dense devices, such as small form factor hard disk drives, enabling storage solutions to scale externally.
