SAS is superior to SCSI § SCSI is in its 7 th generation with the U 320 SCSI and has reached its final iteration § Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is the successor to parallel SCSI § New roadmap and the industry-wide acceptance § Offers significant performance enhancements § 3 -Gbps SAS x 4 “wide” ports provide a cumulative bandwidth of up to 12 -Gbps for host connectivity and expansion § SAS will become the interface of choice for entry-level storage and servers § SAS and SATA drive compatibility supports tiered storage What is Tiered Storage? Tiered Storage is a term used when customers divide their storage according to their data’s requirements. For example; data that is most commonly used in read environments is stored on cost-effective SATA disks, while transactional data (databases) is stored on SAS disks that are suited for random read / write operations. © 2006 IBM Corporation
