Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface
A drive with a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface can be linked directly to controllers. The SAS interface
offers the following advantages over the traditional SCSI interface.
• SAS enables multiple devices (up to 128) of different sizes and types to be connected simultaneously
with thinner and longer cables.
• Offers full-duplex signal transmission.
• SAS drives can be hot-plugged.
