A standard hardware interface for storage drives. Introduced in 2003, serial attached SCSI (SAS) superseded the parallel SCSI interface and is widely used in datacenters where large numbers of drives ...

As you may know, like ATA, SCSI is a parallel technology with multiple devices included on each data channel. Also like ATA, SCSI has been overhauled with its own serial technology, aptly named Serial ...

Serial Attached SCSI drives are fast, robust, and for the most part identical to the high-performance devices already in use in the enterprise. Not only are they built to the same specifications that ...

The Serial Attached SCSI 1.0 specification has been forwarded by the T10 Committee to the InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS), the SCSI Trade Association (STA) ...

The venerable SCSI interface architecture is getting a face lift aimed at pushing it into the realm of medium-to-large systems. Toward that end, a serial-architecture storage interconnect protocol is ...

HP, Seagate and Adaptec demoed Serial Attached SCSI this past week at CeBIT, hoping to keep faith in SCSI alive among a crowd of people becoming increasingly attracted to Serial ATA. Not to start an ...

There was a time when high-performance disk drives used SCSI — the Small Computer System Interface — and everything else was kid stuff. Now, advanced forms of SCSI are still around but there are other ...

The emerging Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) standard is SCSI’s answer to Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) storage. But the specification, approved by the International Committee for Information ...

An IT standards body is close to ratifying a new serial interface specification for SCSI disk drives that’s expected to speed up I/O throughput in servers and could eventually challenge Fibre Channel ...

research Serial Attached SCSI or SAS is a communication protocol for direct attached storage designed to allow much higher speed data transfers than traditional SCSI (small computer system interface).

Both SCSI and ATA (also called EIDE) disk drives are about to reach the end of their useful lives as products, at least in their incarnations as parallel device interfaces. Both are giving way to ...
