SAS and the Market Overview

Overview Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), the successor technology to the parallel SCSI interface, leverages proven SCSI functionality and features while expanding SCSI's proven performance, scalability and reliability for enterprise storage. SAS offers many features not found in today's mainstream storage solutions such as drive addressability up to 16,000 devices per port, and reliable point-to-point serial connections at first-generation speeds of up to 3 Gb/sec. In addition, SAS's small connector supports full dual-ported connections on 2.5-inch hard disk drives, a feature previously found only on larger 3.5-inch Fibre Channel disk drives. Dual-ported connections are essential for applications that require redundant drive connections in a dense server form factor such as blade servers.
