What are the compelling reasons why Serial ATA is a viable option for network-attached storage (NAS) and server storage?
1) Scalability – Serial ATA is a point-to-point connection and allows multiple ports to be aggregated into a single controller that is typically located either on the motherboard or as an add-in, RAID card. Through backplanes and external enclosures, Serial ATA will be deployed in high-capacity server and networked-storage environments.
